New tv

Thinking of buying a new LCD TV with freeview built in for my bedroom. Will the freeview works with just my existing tv aerial? I have got sky+ downstairs. Thanks

We won't be able to tell whether your existing aerial will be good enough.

Could you borrow a Freeview box from someone just to test your reception?
What's your analogue reception like through the aerial? Does your TV downstairs have an aerial feed into it?

You can check http://www.freeview.co.uk/availability/main/index/landing to see if you can get freeview in your area, but like Phantom Flan Flinger said, I'd borrow a set top box from someone if possible to see what your actual reception is like.

Impossible to tell for our pov, ask a friend if you could borrow they're freeview box and see what you get

I have actually got a freeview box with the other portable TV in each bedroom and it is working fine. I used to get film 4 but not anymore. I guess, it is just a matter of plug in and it should automatically install by itself. Thanks

Most tvs inbuilt freeview systems dont work as well as external boxes for picking up on weak signals
