Your channel line up

Unfortunately you can't receive the Freeview channels in your area now, but when your region switches to digital you should be able to receive the most popular channels.

Digital switchover is happening in your region on 4 April 2012 and 18 April 2012. This means that you need to make sure all your TVs are ready for digital. Find out more about switching in your region.

Freeview is the simplest way to get digital TV. It's a one-off payment with no monthly subscription.

To get the best possible picture for all these great channels you might need to get your rooftop aerial checked. Find out more about aerials and installers.
