Freeview is a free-to-air broadcast service providing up to 48 digital TV channels and 24 digital radio stations, plus a range of interactive services. The digital signals are sent from terrestrial transmitters and received via a conventional roof-top aerial.
Can I receive Freeview?
Most areas in and around Eastbourne cannot receive the Freeview signal until 2012. To check for reception in your area, visit the Freeview website for the latest information.
For Eastbourne residents, we recommend freesat in order to receive free-to-air digital broadcasts and interactive services.
How much does Freeview cost?
You pay a one-off equipment cost, around £50, for a Freeview adapter that allows your television to decode the digital signals. The adapter connects to your existing aerial socket, or you can buy an integrated digital television (iDTV) with the adapter already built in. There is no more to pay and there is no contract to sign. Certain older roof-top aerials may require upgrading to receive the Freeview signal.
