Free-to-view satellite TV platform Freesat has signed a deal that will see LG producing Freesat integrated products this year.

Initially, LG will make digital TV sets with Freesat built in, but there is a prospect of further products being added to the list at a later date.

Freesat managing director Emma Scott said: "We're extremely pleased to be working with LG as a manufacturing partner for Freesat in 2009.

"LG is world-renowned for its quality products and this partnership will give consumers even more ways to enjoy Freesat as we grow the service."

Freesat revealed that it is also in talks with other manufacturers about producing products for the satellite platform.
