The service includes a backwards TV guide, letting you turn back time and watch programmes that have already been on, an ‘at a glance’ Now & Next view to show what’s on right now, and a new Showcase section recommending programmes that are coming up.

Emma Scott, Managing Director of Freesat, commented: “TV is a simple pleasure that technology can make even better, not more complicated. Our new boxes with <free time> give satellite viewers everything they get with freesat today and so much more in a single, simple and easy to use on screen guide. We want to help viewers find something great to watch the minute they sit down, so they can spend less time searching and more time watching the TV they love.”
