Can I watch Freeview on my computer?

Freeview channels are not broadcast over the internet, but you can use your computer screen like a television screen.

It works by using USB TV Tuner, a little device that converts the digital signal you receive through the TV aerial and turns it into a format that your PC's media player can play on screen. You can receive all the Freeview channels but may not be able to receive the interactive services.

There are some products currently on the market that allow you to watch Freeview on a PC, such as the Hauppauge Nova-T Digital USB TV Tuner. Just don't forget you have to be able in a Freeview coverage area for it to work.
