Essential Equipment Needed for Your Next Project
To partake of the pleasures of Freeview, make sure you have the following tools ready:
1. Freeview-Enabled TV, Box or Recorder
If you purchased your TV after 2010, it should have built-in Freeview that only requires connection to a functional aerial for live TV streaming.If you own a Freeview Play TV, HD channels await you. Should you want to pause, rewind and record live TV, you can upgrade to a Freeview Play recorder or a Freeview Play - check out the products available on our Freeview Products Page.
Moreover, Freeview Play device users have access to the benefits of live TV and catch-up/on-demand content all in a single location.
2. A Functioning Aerial
To watch Freeview, your antenna must be in good condition and pointed towards a functional transmitter. While indoor aerials like loft or portable ones may still receive Freeview, it's better to use a roof aerial for optimal results.If you need extra information to ensure your aerial is working, consult our aerial troubleshooting guide first. If you still have concerns, it is advisable to contact a qualified aerial installer who can provide advice tailored to your area's circumstances and geography to recommend the best option.

3. A TV Licence
Watching broadcast TV in the UK involves having an annual TV licence, no matter what TV service you use. You may qualify for a free licence or a concession under certain conditions, but most of us have to pay for one - check the TV Licensing website to confirm.Bear in mind that once you have paid your TV licence, you don't have to pay anything extra with Freeview.
4. An Internet Connection
If you just want digital terrestrial Freeview TV channels, an internet connection will not be necessary. However, if you own a Freeview Play device and desire access to catch-up/on-demand content, a minimum of 2Mpbs internet connection is required.You'll also need all the associated channel apps - BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4, My5 and UKTV Play - at least. For the Freeview mobile app, an Android phone or tablet running Android OS 4.4 KitKat or higher or an iPhone or iPad running iOS 11 or higher is required.
What else do I need?
Don't forget to pay for your TV licence. Once you've paid the fee, Freeview eliminates the necessity for any additional payments. Visit tvlicensing.co.uk for more information. Additionally, keep in mind that you'll need a minimum of 2Mbps internet connection.
