Freesat is a British free-to-air satellite television service, first formed as a joint venture between the BBC and ITV plc [2] and now owned by Everyone TV (itself owned by all of the four UK public service broadcasters, BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5).

Frequencies, transmitter power and antennas depend on the desired coverage. Some regional relays even operate in the medium wave or FM bands. [2]
