Will I need to upgrade my equipment to receive Freeview?

Firstly, most viewers will need a Wideband digital compatible TV aerial. Whilst a Wideband aerial is generally required to receive the full range of channels available, the amount of channels received may be subject to the transmitter and local factors (i.e. trees, buildings or any obstacles).

Secondly, you will require a Freeview Set top box, or a Freeview integrated digital television, available from many retailers.

With the Freeview receiver correctly tuned into your television set and connected to a compatible digital TV aerial, you will now be able to enjoy the additional channels provided through your set top box

Please note, to receive the additional channels via Top up TV, you will require a card slot on your Freeview receiver.
