What is Freeview?
UK television transitioned from analogue to digital broadcasting between 2007 and 2012. Which allowed for higher quality TV shows, while using less bandwidth; allowing for more channels to be broadcast. Freeview started life in 1998 as ON Digital/ITV Digital, as a paid service but was ultimately unsuccessful. Freeview was the next iteration of digital terrestrial television, but this time as a subscription free entertainment service. The platform is accessible to those with a compatible TV and the appropriate aerial, making it a popular choice for quality entertainment, news, and more.
Do you need a special aerial fitted for Freeview?
To use Freeview, you do require a digital aerial. Freeview aerial installations include pointing the dish in the right direction; aiming for location with minimal obstacles. Some people do use indoor aerials located in their loft, but these can struggle to get a consistent and reliable signal.

Excellent service all round – fast turnaround and engineer visit following on from the initial call about looking into a quote. The engineer was kind, skilled and efficient and talked through several options before doing a great installation of a new Freeview aerial. The engineer also did a great job of ensuring the wiring inside was neat and cleaned up after himself as he went. All of this on a miserable rainy day, too! Lovely service over the phone too, both calls I had with them were very courteous and well explained. Another good example of a hard working local firm who do things right. Highly recommended all round. Anthony, Lye, on Google, 24th October 2025.
Swift service and friendly engineer. Quickly found the problem which was our freeview box. Didn’t try to sell us anything that we didn’t need, like a new aerial! Very happy and would highly recommend.

Great service at a fair price. We were having trouble setting up new TV / Freeview player. Someone came out the same day and gave us a very fair price before starting, then installed everything quickly and efficiently.

Excellent company, highly recommend. Called on Monday, Richard came on Thursday (they would have visited earlier but i couldn’t fit it in). Excellent service, Richard advised us what was best to do as we are cancelling sky, checked the aerial, all the sockets, fitted new ‘thingy’ in loft, checked and reinstalled freeview channels on both tvs. Very friendly. Big thank you… would highly recommend .. Debbie, Kidderminster, 20th September 2025.
