Do I need an aerial before I can use Connect TV?

An aerial is required to watch live Freeview channels, however it is not necessary for you to access all other features of the service!

Connect TV really is an all-rounder (and we're not talking about cricket!). Cycle through Cinema, Entertainment, Sports, News and much more all through your internet connection (Wi-Fi / Ethernet cable). 

An aerial is required to watch live Freeview channels, though with everything that's now on demand and catch up, you have it all at the touch of a button.

What your Connect TV has to offer on top of Freeview:

  • Over 115 internet-based HD channels included - these are available to watch on-the-go via our mobile app. The channel list is constantly changing to cater to your suggestions.
  • Over 40 apps available - half of which do not require a subscription.
  • More than 30 games to play using your remote at no extra cost.
  • Over 100,000 hours of included shows and movies.
  • Recently updated smart UI - a new Home Screen (FreeviewPlay menu).
  • Alexa-enabled search and navigation.
  • Bluetooth out feature.

Please Note: Adding an aerial gives you unrestricted access to live Freeview channels.
