FREEVIEW - In 2005 Great Britain switched to broadcasting digital television and every TV sold from 2008 was required to be digital broadcast compliant. To receive the digital programmes a digital decoder unit, or set top box was needed for television sets that weren't digital ready.

Even when you have a set top box or suitable digital television, you still need a decent aerial to receive the channels being broadcast. The type of aerial or antenna you've got installed is extremely important in low signal areas.
