Terrestrial TV (via an aerial)

The original method of sending TV signals to your home, via a network of transmitters.

In October 2012, digital switchover was completed in both the UK and Republic of Ireland. Digital terrestrial television is complemented by online services on all newer smart TVs and boxes.

Freeview (UK)

The free-to-air digital terrestrial TV service for the UK, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.

  • Beginner’s Guide to Freeview and Freeview Play

Freeview channel numbers

  • England and Wales (including Isle of Man)
  • Northern Ireland
  • Scotland
  • Channel lslands

Saorview (Ireland)

The free-to-air digital terrestrial television service in the Republic of Ireland.

  • Saorview channel list

(It can be received in parts of Northern Ireland, but Freeview receivers will generally insert Saorview channels in the 800 channel range, ignoring the Saorview channel numbering system.)
