Freeview = UK Tv from an Aerial. Only works in UK or some parts East coast, South East coast and Border.

Freesat = UK TV from Satellite. Picked up on Dish. Most of the free channels on Sky are actually Freesat signals. Take out Sky card, and all the channels that still work is pretty much Freesat if BBC1 = 101 on your "EPG".
