| What is
freeview ? It is the new, free digital service
providing over 30 free digital TV channels, over 20 digital
radio stations plus a new whole world of interactive services.
It’s broadcast from transmitters and received via a rooftop
aerial.
It works like traditional TV but because the signals are Digital
you need an box to convert them (or a new Digital TV with all
the technology in a box already built-in). This means more
channels can be transmitted with extra features such as
interactivity and widescreen pictures.
The great thing is
that FREEVIEW really has made it easy to enjoy
more TV choice.
Boxes are compact and connect simply to your
existing TV. You make just one
payment from around £50 for your box and
remember it's yours to keep. Boxes are produced
by a number of manufacturers and we keep a
selection that we can install when upgrading
your aerial. We recommend that you think
carefully about the
box you decide to purchase & don't just
buy the cheapest as they do vary in the way that
they work & what you can receive.Alternatively, if you're
thinking of buying a new TV, you can now get a
Digital TV from brands liks Philips, Panasonic,
Sharp, Sony and Toshiba with a box already
built-in. With everything integrated into one TV
there's less wiring and only one remote and you
can enjoy the full benefits of widescreen
programmes. Ask your retailer about Digital TVs
and other integrated products. |
