    @StevenBotha9 Hi Steven, Freeview is a service within the UK received through an aerial connection. As previously stated, you may want to look into getting a satellite service, you may be able to receive this from a provider within South Africa. I would advise looking online for more info.

    @Stop_The_Panic @Icky_84 Hi, The best way to find out is it may have the Freeview logo on the back of the TV. Otherwise, you can google your make and model number of the TV or contact the manufacturer for further support. Thanks, Dev.
