Panasonic's exclusive deal with Freesat having come to an end, other manufacturers are free to integrate the service into their flat panel TV's. LG's response is the LF7700 which is based on their high end LG7000 series of LCD TV's.
Freesat is a free (no subscription) digital TV satellite service which offers over 140 digital TV and radio channels including BBC1 & ITV1 in High Definition. The service was launched on 6th May 2008 as a joint venture between the BBC and ITV.
