    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

    @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.

    Does anyone know how a smart tv works with freeview but without broadband? My broadband isn't up and running yet but cant even get a basic tv programme. Help?

  • Icky_84 Iqbal Hussain ✌🏽 (@Icky_84) reported

    @Stop_The_Panic It would usually say on the deal you'd have bought the TV. Maybe a sticker. Check your TV remote and see if it has a button that says Freeview? Depends how old your TV is also. But the problem you have is that, you want to be able to record it - I don't think you'll be able to.
