Hi, I would like to see aerial TV freeview live TV on my monitor which is connected to Sky Stream Puck via HDMI cable and I am able to watch Sky TV and Sky channels perfectly on my monitor but there is a port to connect Aerial TV cable as well on Sky Puck so I have connected Aerial TV cable onto Sky Puck device but I am not able to see any option on my monitor to switch to see Aerial TV and its only showing sky TV and Sky channels so my question is how to do I turn my monitor to watch Aerial TV freeview channels using sky Puck Device, Please help, Thank you

@AmitS Your post has been moved from the Sky Q forum as this isn't related to Sky Q.

Stream pucks have the internal freeview tuner disabled so you won't be able to view any freeview channels.

@AmitS

We believe the aerial socket and DTTV tuner are present so that Sky can use the same hardware in countries where this is mandatory for set top boxes (Italy, for example)

The terrestrial aerial tuners in TV devices in the U.K. are DVB-T/T2 tuners - Freeview is an EPG software specification that requires meeting the licenseable specification and payment to Freeview for inclusion on a TV device🤔

What happens if you lose the Internet so the Sky Stream puck won't display terrestrial tv even if an aerial is connected to it? In effect it'll be useless

Essentially, yes, but I guess the assumption is that in most cases the television set being used to view puck content will have its own digital terrestrial tuner.

A few years back when I temporarily cancelled my Sky Stream subscription, on the home screen I had an option for services, and also an antenna/aerial symbol, which when i selected, was able to receive all the free to air channels on my stream puck via aerial ... is this option now disabled?

It appears to have been inadvertently enabled for a brief period by an update, which was then revised.
