| 1216161 | 2011-07-11 22:33:00 | Either a new TV, or one of the box things. I may just do what I've just done. Brought Win7 Pro, tuned in the channels using Media Centre, and use the Xbox Now I can watch all the freeview channels on the main TV :p Saves me buying a TV or box (if the UHF boxes were under $100, like the satellite ones), I may / would buy one |

| 1216162 | 2011-07-11 22:38:00 | Buying a digital decoder that will plug into your TV is most probably the cheapest option. We have a decoder that works fine. You can buy one of two decoders - one that works from your normal aerial and one that works from your satellite dish. Take your pick. We have a decoder that the ordinary TV aerial plugs into and then the output from the decoder goes to the same, or similar, input that you use for your video recorder or DVD player. It's all quite simple and is an installation job you can do yourself. I'm certain you'll cope.:) |

| 1216163 | 2011-07-11 22:43:00 | I use a set top box to get satellite Freeview on LCD televisions. The plugs from the set top box to an old analogue TV will be different but there may be an easy solution to this. | Bobh (5192) | ||

| 1216165 | 2011-07-12 00:13:00 | You'll also need to make sure you have a UHF antenna, if you are in a Freeview|HD area, or a satellite dish. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 1216166 | 2011-07-12 00:25:00 | We have a freeview box connected to an old sky dish and is all connected to an ancient warehouse TV that is analogue | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1216167 | 2011-07-12 00:54:00 | There is no need to upgrade the TV. There is another annoying article (www.stuff.co.nz) on stuff today about it. Sure, a lot of people will use this as an opportunity to upgrade, but there is no need to. Any old TV will work fine when a tuner is plugged into it, a lot of tuners even come with a RF output if the TV doesn't have AV inputs. | wratterus (105) | ||
