I have just replaced the old portable TV in the guest bedroom with a new Sony bravia 20 inch TV with built in free view.
But I don’t know if this tv with get hd freeview or do I need to get sky mult room ?
I am a bit lost and confused; it’s taken me all week to buy one, 2 hours to set it up and now it seems it needs sky to work properly.
Iv got that problem too…I bought a flat screen with a built in freeveiw.. and its HD ready..
but havent a clue how/why or what I have too do..I thought maybe I had to wait until
it goes over to digital, too get the HD. Bet we have to pay extra whatever the outcome. :roll:You need to subscribe to sky hd channel’s. They are xtra and not part of the normal package i think. also avalible on virgin cable.Bt also do Tv via Broadband for your TV.
Did hear a rumour that the bbc are going to launch anytime soon a cable/broadband/satalite dish service which will give you access to HD programmes free of charge.
I’d wait 6 months to see what happens before you waste you money on a 12 month “we’re going to hold you to a 12 month contract even if your dead contract” with sky/virgin@chickenman wrote:

or later. :wink:Your terrestrial ariel will get switched off soon so you will need either a freeview box or sky.
Ive got the multiroom, and also a couple of freeview boxes and rigged it all up ready for being switched off.
In sure an inbuilt freeview tv will receive the necessary signal to carry on working.

Yeah it is Shazz, I checked with Currys before I bought it. It`l go back if not. Got me worried now. :?
Just an update if you don’t know allready :D
If you don’t have a digital ariel it won’t work, that’s what I was told, I had one installed, my freeview works fine, I have virgin in the living room though

That`s a novelty for you innit Sian? :wink: :lol:
Freesat uses a dish. if you got an old sky one the freesat box plugs straight in. The only prob at the moment with it is channal five aint avalible until later this year. No subscription and you get HD channals for free if you get BBC Freesat :D
