Launched in 2008, Freesat's mission is to offer great television content to viewers without the burden of recurring costs.

Catering primarily to audiences interested in entertainment news and home entertainment, Freesat offers a comprehensive television experience. In addition to live TV channels, their Freesat+ HD boxes enable users to pause, rewind, and record their favorite shows, providing flexibility and convenience.

Freesat's smart TV platform enhances the viewing experience by offering features such as a Backwards TV Guide, which allows users to browse and access content from the past seven days. It also integrates popular catch-up services like BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, Demand 5, STV Player, and YouTube, as well as optional paid on-demand services like Netflix and Rakuten. The platform's "Showcase" feature curates top picks from the week's programming, making it easier for viewers to discover new and relevant content.
