Getting Freeview via Sky-Q

[adamcollis]

Hi,

We are thinking of moving from Virgin Media to Sky-Q and I'd like to clarify something... 

Our current TV is so old it doesn't have any Freeview capabilities.  Does Sky-Q include Freeview (or Freesat) or would I need an additional aerial and Freeview box?

Thanks, Adam

Hi @adamcollis 

Freeview and Freesat are completely independent of Sky Q.

Freeview is a terrestrial aerial based system and Freesat is an independent Satellite broadcaster.

However the Q system does include most Free to air channels.

...all received via the dish that is installed.

You can get a freeview cad from sky which will work with any sky box.

They charge £15 per month for this.
