Sky free-to-air satellite
Price
£150 one-off payment with no monthly subscription fee. But this will only be available from Sky, not high street stores, and the price is unlikely to come down.
Services
116 TV channels and 81 radio stations. TV options include the BBC's eight digital channels plus ITV1, Channel 4, Five and Sky News. Other free channels include QVC, Fashion TV, Chart Show TV and the God Channel.
But it will not include premium services such as Sky Movies and Sky Sports, Sky One, E4 and MTV. Viewers will have to take out a Sky subscription.
Equipment
A satellite dish, receiver, viewing card and installation by a Sky engineer are included in the price.
Reception
97% of the UK, according to Ofcom.
