1252710 2012-01-07 06:02:00 I'm going to buy a new one but should it be with built in freeview or separate box? martynz (5445)
1252711 2012-01-07 06:09:00 either or your choice really gary67 (56)
1252712 2012-01-07 06:16:00 I would consider any tv without built in freview as old stock. Or simply crap. plod (107)
1252713 2012-01-07 06:19:00 I would have thought all current TV's would have it built in, after all, its only a tuner, and until the switch over no one would have touched a TV without a built in tuner. Metla (12)
1252714 2012-01-07 07:47:00 +1 for both comments.

Built in definately, seperate tuners are for old TVs. All you'll find without are very cheap or old models.

1252715 2012-01-08 03:15:00 Make sure you can receive Freeview HD though, or you will have to shell out for a satellite receiver as well. All of the built in tuners are for terrestrial broadcast (HD). pine-o-cleen (2955)

1252717 2012-01-10 01:20:00 If you want Freeview, then with.
If you use Sky, then it doesn't really matter..........

1252718 2012-01-11 01:52:00 Freeview isnt it all its cracked up to be it's just an excuse for the big boys to get you hooked on a service that provides nothing but rubbish and offers very little in the way of anything interesting it's pretty poor average junk tv. Sky has more but the same channels except for tv3+1 otherwise as of late sky isnt much better lately. Hitech (9024)

Freeview seems more about making the switch to digital TV rather than actually getting any more channels...
