Freeview HD is a television service that offers HD channels available via your existing TV aerial, all for free.
It’s available in a set top box that you will need to connect to an HD Ready TV. Or, if you don’t have an HD ready TV, then TVs with Freeview HD built in are also available very soon. Plus, you also get access to up to 50 SD digital channels and radio stations.
And all for free. Freeview HD is simple to set up; just plug in, and with no monthly bills, you just buy today, watch today then it’s free forever. Freeview HD (High definition) TV gives you a sharper, crisper picture with up to five times the amount of detail you see on a standard definition television with richer, more vibrant colours. And not only that, but you get such a crystal clear surround sound that you can hear a pin drop.
Your existing Freeview equipment will continue to receive all of the Freeview SD channels, so you only need updated equipment if you want to watch the new HD channels on Freeview.
But with crystal clear images, super sharp sound, and HD channels from BBC, ITV and Channel4 , there’s so many reasons to upgrade to Freeview HD. As well as up to 50* free SD channels, Freeview HD gives you all your favourite TV in fabulous HD. The first Freeview HD boxes will be available in February 2010.
Freeview HD TVs will be available from March and Freeview+ HD recorders will be available later in Spring 2010. You can choose from a range of manufacturers, prices and product features. But they all come with ‘just-like-real-life’ picture quality and ‘hear-a-pin-drop’ sound from Dolby.
Freeview HD boxes will start from around £140
