Because Freeview channels are broadcast over the air, you need an aerial that will be able to interpret and turn those waves into pretty images on your telly. Freeview Play , which is the on-demand side of Freeview, uses your broadband connection to stream digital TV content to your device.
Back in the day, most houses and buildings had outdoor TV aerials, either up on the roof or possibly in your attic. While outdoor aerials usually offer the best signal reception, there are two potential issues with them:.
The solution? An indoor TV aerial that simply connects to your TV and sits right next to it, without complicated roof-top installations or cables-in-the-wall. It depends. For an indoor aerial to be enough, you need good reception in your house. You put in your postcode and house number, and the site will give you some details about reception in your area — your nearest transmitter, the estimated reception near your house, and even the number of Freeview channels you should be able to watch with that kind of coverage.
However, you should take these results with a grain of salt. So how can you be sure whether even the best indoor TV aerial would be good for Freeview in your house? The good news? The key thing, especially if you have weak or low signals, is to get a high-quality indoor TV aerial, preferably one with good reviews. Amplified indoor aerials connect not only to your TV, but also to the electrical socket, and contain an internal signal booster. In fact, in some cases, amplified aerials might actually WORSEN your reception , either from causing electrical interference, or by boosting the BAD signals which they can certainly do — the amplifier boosts both good and bad signals, and if you have a bad signal in your house, it might get boosted and you will get a distorted image on your TV.
So our recommendation, in most cases, would be to try a non-amplified aerial first. Another option is to get a stand-alone aerial signal booster — see my recommendations here. First, you connect the aerial to the back of your TV via the coaxial cable that, in most cases, will come with your aerial — but remember to note the cable length. Depending on the shape of your aerial, you should place it as close to a window as possible.
Try to place the aerial at head height, and as close to a window as possible. Electronic devices other than your TV , such as a microwave or even your washing machine, might interfere with the reception of the TV signal, so try to place your aerial away from those.
A television license is still required as you will be using a television set. My tv is not Saorview compatible or approved, what system should I go for?
In that case you may prefer to go with a combo system giving you UK free-to-air channels and Irish channels on the one box via the one remote control. Alternatively you could use an official freesat box and separate saorview box.
