Freeview

Lo all,

Buying a new TV and since the price between the non-freeview TV and the one which includes it is pennies I thought I'd get the one which had freeview in it.

I have NTL Digital, but thought it'd allow me to watch and recore more channels. I could record E4 while watching Sky Movies or something.

Had a question though. Would I need to connect the freeview to a regular aerial? or would I be able to just plug in my analogue rf cable from my NTL box into it? Sorry if that's a really stupid question

Thanks in advance.

The NTL cable does not carry Freeview signals, so you won't get anything that way. The analogue signals are there though, and as IIRC digital tellys also still have analogue tuners, you should pick those up.

If you want to take advantage of the digital tuner in your telly to receive the Freeview service, you will indeed have to connect it to a separate aerial.

This is strange (http://www.freeview.co.uk/canireceiv...iew/index.html)
I type my post code i get this FREEVIEW doesn’t cover your area for the postcode
I type my postcode where I used to work, about 1 mile away I get FREEVIEW covers your area for the postcode
My sisters FREEVIEW covers your area for the postcode CM19 xxx ** but you probably need a new type of aerial.

So should I get a DVB usb stick??

As I said in the other thread, that website's as useful as a choccie teapot.
