How do I know if I’m getting Freeview via satellite, UHF or streaming?

If you’re getting Freeview through a satellite dish, you should have George FM on channel 70.

If you’re tuned in through a UHF aerial, you should have CH200 on channel 200.

And you’re streaming channels when you use the Freeview Streaming TV App to watch Live TV.
