You need an HD-Ready television and an HD digital box in order to view high definition programmes. You will need to connect the digital box to your television via HDMI (Component is somewhat of a dead technology now!). Once you have the right equipment installed, you can watch live sport, national events, stunning natural history, landmark drama, world-class documentaries and more in amazing HD. If you haven’t yet got an HD-ready television you can still be prepared for the future by getting a Freesat HD digital box. With a Freesat HD digital box you can still view HD programmes on your standard definition television but the content will be scaled down to standard definition. If you buy a Freesat standard definition box you will not be able to view HD programmes even if you have an HD-ready television.
