1248711 2011-12-14 23:44:00 I thought freeview was free gary67 (56)
1248712 2011-12-15 00:01:00 It is if you get a Freeview decoder or a Freeview capable TV. Snorkbox (15764)
1248713 2011-12-15 05:09:00 The're just scared of the uproar when analogue finally does get switched off. It's just so they can say "But we gave away 60,000 free STB's!". pine-o-cleen (2955)

Don't forget the stuff on the roof, Snorks ... i.e. a dish or UHF antenna - as Peter H also points out :D

As it happens I have an ordinary TV aerial and can still pick up Freeview. No UHF aerial here.
