Digital Switchover

When the digital switchover starts in your area you will need a digital TV (or digital decoder box). This will enable you to receive over 30 FREE digital TV & over 20 FREE digital radio channels without paying a subscription. The majority of UK homes are now able to receive the Freeview service. However, we do recommend that you check your postcode is in a Freeview coverage area, before you rent an integrated digital TV or a digital decoder box. There are three ways you can check your postcode:

  1. Text your Postcode to 83331 (standard rates apply)
  2. Visit www.freeview.co.uk
  3. Call us on 0844 774 3271 and we will check it for you

Freeview

You should be able to enjoy the Freeview service through your existing aerial. However, even if you are in a Freeview coverage area and your reception is bad it is possible you may need a new aerial if it’s not in good condition. We recommend you contact your local Confederation of Aerial Industries(CAI) installer listed in the Yellow Pages. If you live in a flat or building with a shared aerial we recommend that you check with your landlord whether you can receive the Freeview service.
