Can I watch Freeview on my computer (PC)?
Freeview is not broadcast over the internet, but you can use your computer screen like a television screen using a USB tuner, a PCI card or buying a PC with Freeview built-in. USB TV Tuner plugs into a USB port on your computer and converts the digital signal you receive through the TV aerial 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. If you are buying a new PC then some PCs already have Freeview tuners built in and the latest versions will also handle interactive services. You can also buy TV tuner PCI cards that slot inside your PC. An example would be the Hauppauge Win PC Nova-T TV Tuner. Just don’t forget you have to be able in a Freeview coverage area for it to work.
