Do you want to receive additional TV channels for your viewing
pleasure, without having a dish installed or having to pay a
monthly subscription?
Then 'Freeview' is the answer!
So, what is Freeview?
'Freeview' is an alternative to Sky TV, and is already available
and being broadcast to approximately 70-80% of the UK to date.
(If you would like to check if you are in a 'Freeview' coverage
area, please visit our website and go to the 'Freeview' section).
Unlike other digital services (satellite & cable), there is no
monthly subscription or fee required, with approximately 40 TV
stations, ranging from family entertainment with the likes of
E4, ITV2 & 3, BBC3 & 4, News & Lifestyle channels (QVC & UKTV
Bright Ideas). There is also entertainment for the children with
'CBeebies' & 'CBBC'.
Additionally, also available are 20 digital radio channels,
including Radio 1 & 2, to 'Smash Hits' & 'Kiss'.
The main attraction of 'Freeview' is the channels available are
free, however, for a small monthly fee, the Top Up TV service
can be obtained through a compatible 'Freeview' receiver, to
include channels such as Cartoon Network, UKTV Gold, Discovery
Channel and more)*.
Will I need to upgrade my equipment to receive Freeview?
Firstly, most viewers will need a 'Wideband' digital compatible
TV aerial. Whilst a 'Wideband' aerial is generally required to
receive the full range of channels available, the amount of
channels received may be subject to the transmitter and local
factors (i.e. trees, buildings or any obstacles).
Secondly, you will require a 'Freeview' Set top box, or a
'Freeview' integrated digital television, available from many
retailers.
With the 'Freeview' receiver correctly tuned into your
television set and connected to a compatible digital TV aerial,
you will now be able to enjoy the additional channels provided
through your set top box
* Please note, to receive the additional channels via Top up TV,
you will require a card slot on your 'Freeview' receiver.
