Freeview

In 2002, a new television service was launched, which was to change the face of terrestial television for many years to come!

Freeview, was launched to provide a much greater variety of channels, in digital, for free! Freeview currently boasts approximately 50 free tv and radio channels, which are provided in digital with greater picture and audio quality, and for those home viewers who like their entertainment and quiz shows, it provides the functionality of interactive tv, allowing you to take part in your favourite television programmes!

Freeview only requires the installation of a digital tv aerial on your property, and a digital freeview receiver. Most modern televisions are already built with a digital freeview receiver within.

As Freeview does not require any form of satellite dish, it could provide a superb alternative for those wishing to switch onto digital, as opposed to both the BBC Freesat and Sky Digital satellite systems.

For those who want a little bit extra, Freeview does also provide a selection of premium digital channels for a small monthly fee, but remember, you will require a digital freeview receiver with a viewing card slot to unlock these channels. Most televisions do not have this functionality.

As the UK switches over to the new digital signal, Freeview is currently available to many households (approximately 75%) in the UK, so why wait until 2012 when you could benefit from more channels with no monthly subscriptions!
