To get the clearity of HD, you need to avoid converting anything to anything else. So, the ideal is to take a 1920x1080 picture and display it on a 1920x1080 display.
If the set has 1920x1080 pixels then you'll get full HD. Otherwise, the set downscales the picture to fit the available pixels. This can cause distortions. It's not HD.
Thanks - looks good on the BBC/ITV/C4 front. Great to get CBBC and CBeebies to get away from the ad-laden Nick. No sign of RTE/TV3/C6/Living?same channels afaik as on www.freesat.co.uk
Hi Masons,
Welcome to AAM.
Can you confirm if you have any association with the above company as recommendations from 1st time posters make make AAM users wary.
Thanks,
Sue Ellen.
Have been away. To answer your question. No connection with the company at all.
Meet him one afternoon. Spoke to him about the installation, agree the price and he called on time. No problem at all. A few days later poor signal and he call checked everything inside the house and the aerial system. Fixed all. He even fix my VHF aerials.
So on the whole, very pleased.

Eh really stupid question coming - if you get a sat4free box, presumably you still need a satelite dish?? Sorry I know it's basic, but the websites are a little unclear
Whereas when you look at FTA, they always seem to come complete with box and dish...

Can anyone still using Sat4free tell me how good this service is or recommend any decent alternatives? There's very little onfo on the Power City website. Any opinions on this? [broken link removed] Dish and receiver for €80.95 thanks..
Basically what your getting is "FreeSat".
Just google "Freesat" and you will see myriad sites which should give you all the info you need.
Ultimately, I guess so - not sure how long this process will take though..In a couple of years will everything be broadcast in HD making my SD box obsolete
Afraid not. Having said that, HD boxes are quite expensive still. And I tend to agree on the whole HD thing. It seems to be a bit underwhelming and doesn't live up to the hype (although I accept opinions differ on this)....or can an SD box receive a HD signal and change it so that it can be viewed in SD?
