freeview help

[Publius Ovidius]

as I cant get channel 5 on my non cable tv's does that mean I cant get freeview?

How does it work? Do I have to throw away all my portable telly's?

I am in BN41

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

You can get it on Freeview.
Plug the box in to the tv and away you go

edit: misread that - go to the BBC website to check your area can get freeview, there will be a link somewhere. Or just google it

 

[Publius Ovidius]

yes but what do I plub the freeview box into?

 

[clippedgull]

If you can get freeview you can get channel 5.

It's all about signal strength, line of sight, etc etc.

in a nutshell you need a good aerial

It does, you need a decent roof aerial though, a portable type aerial won't work generally.

What part of BN41 Dave?

My mate lives on the hangleton side of benfield vally and he cant get freeview.

I suppose it depends on if there are any hills etc inbetween you and the tv mast

Rubbish!!!

It says that we'll have it "by 2012"

 

[clapham_gull]

Generally rubbish on indoor aerials.

 

[ali jenkins]

When they switch it on everyware the signal strength will be better as they wont have to share it with analogue so you should be alright if you can get normal tv now

[Mr deez]

No not at all, they sell similar ones in Maplin/currys etc.

Dead handy, although you can only watch the same channel as is on the 'main' telly..
