Reading through the paper today, I saw a very interesting article on the “Sqish”.
The Sqish is a discreet alternative to a satellite dish and can be used to receive Sky and Freesat in the UK.
It can be camouflaged to help it blend into its surroundings with the addition of a Bespoke sticker created from a digital photo.
Why use a Sqish? Areas sensitive to planning restrictions, coastal towns where dishes are prone to rust, dish stigma or just for the sheer hell of it! The Sqish is a quirky contemporary alternative to a satellite dish.
More details and pictures are available at www.sqish.co.uk

Freesat, the UK’s latest package of free-to-air TV channels, transmitted from a satellite, has now gone live, allowing comsumers access to standard-definition and HD (high-definition) broadcasting for a single, one-off payment.
Freesat is brought to us by BBC and ITV and currently features a package of over 80 digital channels, including some HD channels (although we are promised more soon!).
Freesat’s Highlights:-
- Over 80 digital TV and radio channels
- HD TV programmes subscription-free
- No contract, no subscription, just a one-off payment
- Available to almost every home in the UK
Although Freesat is available to buy now through many retailers such as Argos, Currys & John Lewis, the choice of equipment is currently limited. We will be doing a full article with lots more information soon.
