About This User Guide

This user guide contains all the information you need to know about how to setup and watch available free view Channels using your set top box.

What is Freeview™?

It is a free digital service currently providing up to 48 digital television channels, over twenty digital radio stations plus a wide range of interactive services. It is broadcast from transmitters and is received via a rooftop aerial.Freeview works like traditional TV, but because the signals are digital you need a set top box or interactive digital TV to convert them. This means more channels can be transmitted with extra features such as interactivity and widescreen pictures.
