Introduction to Freesat

Entering your Post Code

Why is it necessary to enter a Post Code when setting up a

Freesat TV?

When installing a freesat TV and running the Auto-Setup you will be

prompted to enter a post code.

The post code is used to indentify where in the UK you are located

and to select the correct “Local” TV programmes for your area. The

correct Local News and Local Weather programmes etc can then be

watched on the BBC and ITV.

If this step is skipped during the set-up process, the default location

of Central London will be set and Local News and Weather

broadcasts etc will be London based. The post code can be added

or changed later.

When entering your post code you must include the space in the

characters entered, for example: - the post code RG128FP should

be entered as RG12 8FP (with the space between the 12 and the 8).
