In what way?

 

[tvspecv]

{every aspect} as i have seen the new tvs with "freeview hd" just launched are costing more than the freesat ones does this make it more superior or just a first time buyer selling premium

 

[daveh75]

Paying a premium for the development of new tech/broadcast standards.

 

[tvspecv]

but surely you get a a better signal through a dish than an aerial.

 

[daveh75]

Well yes, DTT reception is dependent on geographical location and has a lack of capacity.

Wheras,generally speaking, satellite reception is consistent, so long as you have a clear line of sight to the satellites and doesn't have the capacity restrictions of DTT. Though Freesat is currently restricted by lack of capacity on Astra 2D, but wont always be the case.

pointless to go for freeview hd then. channel numbers how many on freeview compared to freesat?
