We’re inside every good tv. So it's about what's right for you.
We test new products before they hit the shops, so you can choose how you want to get free Live TV: on a new TV, box or dongle.
If you know the facts, it's easy.
Upgrading your TV setup? The right product for you depends on how you want to watch TV, what’s on your roof, and your coverage.
If you have a UHF aerial you can go for any TV that's Freeview-approved (pretty much all TVs stocked by these trusted locals).
Anyone with good UHF coverage can use a UHF aerial, check your coverage here.
With a satellite dish, you need to look for a dual tuner TV. A dual tuner TV can tune in both UHF and satellite TV signals. That means you can plug your satellite cable straight into your TV and tune it in; whereas with a standard TV, you'd need a satellite box. Dual tuner models are available from popular brands Samsung, LG and Panasonic.
After a box?
If you’re using a satellite dish to get Freeview, but your TV is not dual tuner, then you’ll need a satellite box to tune in Freeview.
DISH TV has a great range, including some pretty clever ones that come loaded with streaming apps too.
Are you a streamer?
You can get the Freeview Streaming TV app on all the good Smart TVs.
But if your TV isn’t with it, you can get a SmartVU dongle to stream Freeview.
It turns your TV into a Smart TV too. Genius!
Record TV
The best way to record Live TV is with a Freeview recorder. Hook it up to your aerial or satellite dish to record Live TV for free.
All Freeview recorders come with:
- Twin tuners, so you can watch a channel while recording another, or record two channels at the same time.
- Generous onboard storage to keep your recordings safe and sound.
- Series Link function that enables recording of the entire season in just a click.
Look for Freeview recorders from Dish TV or Panasonic in your local electronics store.
LEAVE IT TO PROFESSIONALS.
