Can you get freeview through a satatite dish?

Question

My son runs a old type TV through a satalite dish and gets free channels through a digibox. He wants to buy himself a new plasma TV with built in freeview. Will he be able to get the normal freeview channels from the TV using his satalite dish or will he have to get a digital ariel. Also will his digibox work on the new TV too?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Answer 1

All new TV's sold now have digital tuners built in them now. People with older televisions will require a DT converter box if you receive analog now. TV Antanna.

If you have cable vision, no changes required. If you have a dish and receive broadcast from a satelite you are not required to purchase a box.

If you do need a box, type DTV BOX in your search box. You can get a coupon for $40.00 dollars. The cost of a box at Walmart is $40.00 If you are on satelite dish now, you should get the same channels you have now.

Answer 2

Hi you cant get free view through sat dish

His box should work on any tv

Answer 3

The new plasma TV will not need a freeview box and should work through your Aeriel if it's in good condition ,and you can receive a digital signal in your area.

If you want to continue the ability to get freesat, you can now get free-to-air HD broadcasts with the appropriate decoder.

Answer 4

A new service was launched just last week.

Google Freesat

Answer 5

If he gets a TV with built-in freeview, he will have both satellite, and terrestrial freeview at his disposal; many channels are available on both systems. Terrestrial digital needs a good signal, but can be dealt with later, if he has a problem with reception.

Answer 6

his digibox works on the new TV
