 The Bible says:

Welcome - we provide impartial information to help you get Christian TV and Radio.

Unlike America, with many Christian Stations, we in the UK have to try a bit harder to get Christian TV and Radio. Here, only satellite has a wide range of Christian channels. Hence this website, where we explain the various ways to get a budget system with no rental or contract. If you can't get satellite, check out our list of all the other ways to get Christian TV and Radio.

Six satellite myths!

1. “Satellite will cost me £40 per month”

False! For a one-off cost of £150 you can have a Freesat from Sky system or, for about £250, a Non-Sky, Free-to-Air system. Both will receive over 220 channels (and over 20 Christian channels) with no rental or further cost.

2. “You have to subscribe to Sky”

False! Over 300 channels of TV & Radio are broadcast 'Free-to-Air'. You can receive them for nothing. A Sky digibox has a slot for a 'TV viewing card'. But a card is only required if you want encrypted channels - which are Ch4 and Ch5 and the subscription channels for Sports or Films. Want Ch4 and Ch5? You can buy a 5 year Freesat from Sky card for just £20.

3. “You can only get a Sky system from Sky”

False! You can buy your own Sky digibox either new, refurbished or secondhand. You can fit a dish yourself or ask a satellite installer to fit one for you. You might prefer a Non-Sky system. These are able to receive all the Christian channels.

4. “You need to have a satellite dish on the house”

False! A dish can be placed discreetly in a garden. Ask your installer to place your dish thoughtfully. As long as it is south facing it can go on a chimney stack or the side or rear of a house. Talk to an installer and find out what options you have. Even a prominently placed dish can be painted (with non-metallic paint) to help disguise it without affecting reception.

5. “I cannot get Christian Radio where I live”

Christian satellite broadcasts can be received in 98% of the UK. Unless you have dish placement restrictions, or live behind a hill, a tall building or high trees, you should be OK.

The 'radio tuner' in this Hi-Fi is a
Sky digibox! It's not connected to a TV at all.

6. “You can only hear satellite radio through the TV”

False! Apart from the Pace Minibox, every Sky digibox has an Audio output. Connect this to a stereo system using a stereo Phono lead and then, without a TV, the digibox can be used like a radio tuner. It works very well. We've been listening to Christian Radio this way for years.

Don't miss out!

From these Six Myths you can see we need to get a clear message out that satellite is easy, good value and the best way to get Christian TV & Radio. Don't miss out yourself.
