When will Freeview be available in my area?
Most homes are able to receive Freeview already. However, some homes can’t see all of the Freeview channels right now. It’s usually where a local relay transmitter supplies analogue TV, and we have to wait until they’re able to update and expand. But there’s good news. The whole of the UK is going through the digital TV switchover, where all television will be digital between 2008-12. When your area goes digital, you should be able to see the Freeview channels. To see what channels you can recieve both now and after switchover, click on the link to the Freeview coverage checker below. You can find out more on our Digital TV Switchover page For more information about the switchover to digital TV, visit www.digitaluk.co.uk or call Digital UK’s information line on 0845 6 50 50 50.
