According to Ofcom, the UK is “one of the most digitally advanced nations in the world”.
Consider the range of digital TV choices on offer – Freeview, IPTV, Internet catch-up TV (iPlayer, Sky Player, ITV Player, 4OD), Sky, Virgin Media and, most recently, Freesat. Crucially, FreeSat is more than just ‘Freeview from space’.
Unlike Freeview, Freesat is readily available to 98 per cent of the UK. And it has enough bandwidth to carry subscription-free high-definition channels from the BBC and ITV
