Silly question regarding how to use TV 27 April 2021 at 6:34PM in Phones & TV 9 replies 171 views

Hi everyone,

Excuse me for stupid question but it has been a while since I had a proper TV.

In the old days I used to have a Sky box to go along with the tv but that was 10-15 years ago.

I've just bought a TV and I was wondering what different ways can I watch channels on it.

Can someone lay out the different options I could use to watch channels?

I'm off to do some Googling....

Thanks in advance.

It's got Freeview but I've got no clue haha

Yep - I have it but can't figure out where to plug it into.

Spoken to my mate and he said "just get a cheap Amazon TV firestick"

There was deal on a Roku premier for £10 with this TV that would have done the streaming services


Have you read the manual.

Do you have a lead for standard aerial?

The aerial socket is on the side of the tv!

Read the manual to get it set up.

Plug aerial lead in, then run auto set up/auto-tune. It will then go away and find all the Freeview channels for you.
