WHAT IS FREEVIEW
Freeview is the name of the UK's digital terrestrial TV service, delivered to your home through an aerial. Available on TVs, set-top boxes and PVRs (personal video recorders), Freeview offers the UK's most popular TV and radio channels, accessible for a one-off payment.
WHY PAY FOR TV YOU DON’T WATCH
Freeview bring you the best possible lineup of TV for free. With over 70 standard channels and 15 HD channels, we’re bringing you the nation’s favourite shows, through your TV aerial, for no monthly cost. Of course, if you choose Freeview Play, you can connect to the internet to watch on demand shows from BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4, My5 and UKTV Play.
IT’S THE TV YOU CARE ABOUT
With 95% of the nations favourite programmes you can enjoy the UK’s most popular shows and your own guilty pleasures without paying a penny for channels you don’t watch. With Freeview Play, your live TV and on demand services are all in one place. Enjoy what you want, when you want, with complete peace of mind.
All TVs since 2010 have Freeview built in, so only require a
working aerial to be plugged into the back. If your TV is older
than this you may need a Freeview box, or you have an HD ready
TV, buy a Freeview HD Recorder to watch in high definition.
If you’re in the market for a new TV, grab one with built-in
Freeview Play. These offer catch up alongside live TV through the
TV guide.
Alternatively, if you want to record live programmes and access on
demand services through your TV, Freeview HD Recorders offer a
simple solution and can easily be connected to any HD Ready TV.
CHANNELS
Freeview offers 70 TV channels, 15 HD channels, and more than 30 radio stations. In fact over 95% of the nation’s favourite programmes are available at no monthly cost.

AERIALS AND RECEPTION
From time to time you may experience issues with your TV reception, like a blocky/pixelated picture or missing channels. In a lot of cases these will be temporary problems or have a simple remedy. On some occasions you may need some outside help: we recommend that maintenance on rooftop aerials is carried out by professionals.
