In next to no time you could be enjoying crystal clear digital
sounding radio at the touch of a button. However, to ensure
that you can enjoy Freeview at its best there are some points
you should keep in mind.
Coverage
The majority of UK homes are now able
to receive Freeview. However, to avoid disappointment, we
do recommend that you check your postcode is in a Freeview
coverage area - BEFORE you buy.

What equipment do I need?
 To
receive any of the Freeview services you will require a set-top
box and attach this to your existing TV set. Most new set-top
boxes available in the shops today come with the option to
plug the audio output of the box to your existing hi-fi setup.
This allows access to radio stations without having the TV
switched on.
If you are considering buying a new TV, you may like to think
about buying an integrated digital television with Freeview
combined. This requires no additional set-top box. Less wires,
more choice.
Set-top boxes are available from most regular high street
stores priced from £50.
