Upgrade options to replace an older satellite box

If your satellite box needs an upgrade, you can choose from a range of options.

1. Stream Live TV with the Freeview Streaming TV app where there's good internet. Download our free app on most Smart TVs and it's preloaded on SmartVU dongles.

2. Get a new satellite box such as a Dish TV SAT1 or A7080 box for a 'like for like' experience. To record live TV, opt for a Panasonic satellite recorder (model: DMRHST270) or a Dish TV satellite recorder (model: S7070pvr).

3. Get a dual-tuner TV if you want to go 'box-free'. Most models are dual-tuner in the Samsung, Panasonic and LG range, as well as select Veon and JVC models.

Pick up your upgrade from trusted electronics retailers nationwide.
