Question, if In march 2026 (yes that's right), can I get a Freeview box that will work through Virgin Media Broadband?


A rooftop aerial isn't an optioin

Re: Freeview changes
 

I though Freeview was a satellite based service (only) ?

Re: Freeview changes
 

You can also go after Freely - you just need to buy an new Telly.

Re: Freeview changes
 

Be aware that Freely currently only delivers the PSB channels in IP format (roughly the equivalent of a Freeview relay transmitter). To get the full Freeview channel availablility you still need to connect a Freely TV to a rooftop aerial pointed at a transmitter that carries the COM muxes. A Freely TV will work on any Broadband connection, so you could use one now. It's just a different type of SMART TV.

Freeview is Terrestrial. Freesat is satellite.

Re: Freeview changes
 

Ah, of course, never really had either myself, forgot there were the two 'free' versions.
I think we had the satellite in our bedroom once, years ago, for the wife, but she never really used it.
Never had freeview (would have needed a new aerial iirc).

Re: Freeview changes
 

I bought this indoor aerial - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I get all the freeview channels and for under a tenner it's good value
