You need a dish to receive Freesat but not Freeview. For more information see the Freeview site or the Freesat site.
HDMI Interface	1

Number of Scart Interfaces	0

This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV.

Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.
