This is IT! - The Start of the SD switch off for Freesat - HD is the way forward

I have spoken before about BBC switching off the SD broadcasts for its main changes at the in Jan 2024. 

Now ITV are also joining them in the great standard def switch off, the main channels including ITV2 will be going HD only on satellite shortly.

what does this mean for you, well if you are using an older box or TV like a the bush, Grundig and older Humax branded boxes, if they do not have a HDMI output you probably will lose some channels at the end of this month.

box models that are standard definition which a lot of people have are

BUSH BFSAT02SD

GRUNDIG GUFSAT02SD GUFSAT101DHS

ALSO WHITE SKY BOXES SUCH AS THOMSON, PACE & AMSTRAD, That people do use for free TV broadcasts will also lose the BBC and ITV channels

So what can you do?

Well, we have a selection of HD boxes from £40, Look Here
