Freeview
Freeview is a free digital TV service which is available via a digital aerial installation. Contrary to some beliefs the digital switchover does not mean that TV aerials will no longer be needed, in fact they will still remain an essential requirement for anyone wishing to watch a digital TV or set top box. Freeview is totally reliant on a Digital aerial, it will not work via a satellite dish as some people still seem to think and you will require a digital TV/set top box in every room that you want TV.
Freeview is available in numerous forms:
| Digital TV or set top box in standard definition (SD) | |
| Freeview + Hard Drive Recorders - up to 2 programmes similar to Sky+ Inc Live Pause facility) Recording times typically up to 500hrs |
