A free satellite television and radio service from the BBC and ITV is being launched across the UK. Freesat is available to 98% of homes, including those that are unable to receive Freeview through a TV aerial.

It will carry 80 digital TV and radio channels, including free high definition programmes, with that number due to rise to 200 by the end of 2008. Users will make a one-off payment for a dish, set-top box and installation, but will not pay a monthly subscription.

Good news for those of you who want to watch Doctor Who in high definition, I suppose.
