The digital switchover is happening throughout the United Kingdom, and will be finally
complete during 2012, where the analogue signal will be switched off. Some areas
are already receiving the improved digital transmission, and can benefit from an
increased variety of digital tv channels with greater picture and audio quality.
With
Freeview TV already available throughout the most of the UK, you could have access
to a whole new variety of television entertainment and interactive digital TV channels,
from comedy and drama, films, to news and music, all of which are free!
The majority
of Freeview digital set top boxes provide digital programming guides allowing you
to view upcoming Freeview television shows in advance, and also come complete with
a digital programme timer, to ensure you don’t miss the start!
To ensure you receive
the full benefit of digital programming, you may need a digital compatible tv aerial,
and either a digital television with an integrated digital freeview tuner (look for
the digital tick), or, if you aren’t replacing your television, then a freeview set
top receiver. The service offered by freeview TV provides approximately 48 digital
television channels, and 24 digital radio channels, enhanced digital teletext, digital
programming guides and interactive services!
Freeview has provided the United Kingdom
a cross platform of digital TV channels since October 2002, all completely free,
and they are currently in the process of introducing new digital entertainment features,
such as Freeview+ providing tape free recording, and Freeview HD with free high definition
programming.
With access to 48 digital TV and 24 radio channels, offering superior
sound and picture quality, why wait until 2012 when you can benefit from Freeview
digital TV entertainment now!
How Do I 'Switch On To Digital'?
With Freeview TV, there
is no monthly subscription required to receive and enjoy the service. You are not
tied into any contract, any rental agreements or committment. Freeview, as the name
suggests, is FREE!
NO MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTIONS!
With Freeview TV, there is no monthly
subscription required to receive and enjoy the service, although there are a number
or additional Freeview digital channels available via Top Up TV, or pay to view TV
channels. If you wish to receive these premium channels, you will require a digital
receiver with CAM card access.
Can I receive Freeview Digital TV?
Although you can
check if you receive Freeview Digital TV online using the official digital TV postcode
checking system, this is not always accurate, as it is based upon general area signal
strengths.
Aerial Services specialize in providing suitable solutions to meet your
home entertainment needs! Using specialist equipment and having many years of experience
in quality installations throughout the UK, you may still be able to receive digital
Freeview TV, or an alternative Digital TV system.
Using our digital signal meters,
we can provide a digital reception test at your property to see whether you can receive
the Freeview digital signal. We have found good results in many areas where the online
digital checker states there is no reception. In the small minority of poor reception
areas, where digital is not available, an alternative digital viewing system, such
as Freesat or Sky TV can be installed.
Freeview+ -
Freeview+,
similar to both Sky+ and the new BBC Freesat+ PVR, provides any consumer the ability
to pause, rewind and fast forward their favourite digital television shows, live!
A
Freeview+ digital receiver can record your favourite tv shows whilst you are not
home, at work or away, ensuring you never miss a show again! You can even set your
Freeview+ receiver to record an entire series of your favourite television programmes
by the press of a button!
Freeview+ like the other Freeview services requires no monthly
charge or subscription, and is provided completely free of charge providing you have
a Freeview+ digital receiver. You may also require the installation of a digital
tv aerial, or a second live channel feed, depending on your TV system and requirements.
Freeview+
(or Freeview Plus) provides the home user all the benefits of home tape recording,
but without the need for tapes, and can store many programmes for free on the built
in hard disc drive.
Freeview HD
Freeview have also announced the launch of it’s much
anticipated Freeview HD service, which should introduce several High Definiton digital
channels towards the end of 2009.
Freeview will be broadcasting these channels free
inline with it’s current policy, and again, no monthly subscription, rental or commitment
is required.
However, to receive and benefit from the improved High Definition signal
which provides greater and more vibrant colours with better picture clarity, you
will require a HD compatible television, together with a Freeview HD set top box,
or when available, a Freeview HD integrated Digital TV.
BT Vision -
BT
have introduced their own range of digital television services via BT Vision. A BT
Vision digital box will receive the channels on offer from Freeview with no monthly
subscriptions, but will also provide hours of further entertainment by providing
'TV on Demand', programmes available to watch when you want, at the touch of a button!
This provides a much more varied and wider range of digital entertainment for all
the family. However, to reap the benefits of the full BT Vision service, you require
a suitable broadband connection, complete with a monthly subscription package for
the BT Vision services.
Aerial Services are digital registered and qualified to install
any digital tv aerial or radio aerial system you require. Each system can be fully
configured to your requirements, whether you want a digital tv aerial system installed
to one room, or, a complete digital aerial multiroom system installed, allowing every
room in your property to access the digital tv channels on offer.
All installations are guaranteed and we only use quality products and cabling, giving
you peace of mind and confidence in our service
