Getting Freeview via Sky-Q

‎22 Jul 2024 12:15 PM

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.
