Freeview is digital TV received via a TV aerial. If you're in range of a Freeview transmitter, chances are your existing TV aerial is able to get Freeview.

Freeview offers around 40 digital TV channels, including the main five channels, plus channels like ITV2, BBC3, E4, Dave, Virgin 1, Five USA, Sky Three, plus news, music and kids channels.

By the start of 2008, Freeview is available to 14 million homes. Around 75% of the population are in range of a Freeview transmitter, and this is increasing as we get nearer to 2012.

Freeview's the cheapest way of getting digital TV. Freeview boxes are available for a one-off cost of about £30, and there's no subscription.
