FREEVIEW™ gives you great TV for free with no strings attached. This means that you and your family will gain access to some of the best TV channels available. You can watch the shows that keep you glued to the screen and make you laugh, cry, shout and talk about the next day. And all for FREE with FREEVIEW™.
To get started, you will need to find out if FREEVIEW™ is available in your area once you have made sure that you can receive this service, you can start enjoying a host of great TV channels for free.
Once you’ve checked that coverage is available where you live, the next thing to do is to purchase the FREEVIEW™ product that is right for you. It’s really that simple. There’s no contract, no monthly subscriptions and no additional fees to pay - even when new programmes and channels are added, not another penny changes hands.
Whilst this is a good opportunity to upgrade to a digital television, you don’t need to buy a new TV to enjoy FREEVIEW™. You can simply purchase a set-top box, which will simply plug into your existing TV via the scart socket. You are then ready to start enjoying a wealth of additional channels. With FREEVIEW™ you can also listen to great digital radio through your TV and with perfect sound quality you'll never miss the punch line or skip a beat.
Many digital TV recorders also have FREEVIEW™ inside and these are becoming increasingly popular in our homes, taking the place of the VCR. Instead of recording onto tapes, digital TV recorders store programmes onto its own very large memory. You can also record and pause live TV, rewind to see something again, and so much more.
While FREEVIEW™ channels are not broadcast over the Internet, it's even possible to watch FREEVIEW™ on your computer monitor, using it like a television screen. You will need a USB TV tuner, which is a little device that converts the digital signal you receive through the TV aerial and turns it into a format that your PC’s media player can play on screen. You can receive all the FREEVIEW™ channels but may not be able to receive the interactive services.
