If your WI-FI goes off for some reason can you still watch tv? In the tech specs it does not mention an aerial socket.

Hi @critch845 

Yes if you lose internet then the aerial will become available. Obviously no pay channels will be available. This is only available on Glass though, not stream.

Thanks,

Tim

There's a coaxial socket on the Glass TV sets and they contain an integrated Digital Terrestrial Television (Freeview) tuner.  The number of channels available very much depend on what's being carried by your local Freeview multiplex and to some extent the aerial you connect: our address shows 34 channels while at my parents it's 135.

Glass/Stream pucks also have the aerial socket and a tuner but this isn't activated for UK/RoI use: it's there for European markets where local regulation insists that set top boxes can access DTTV.

One caveat to this is you will not be able to record or playlist any items from the built in freeview 

I have a separate freeview recording box I can plug in to one of the hdmi sockets on glass should any internet downtime occur
