Stream and Freeview

[hoppit21]

Can I still use the aerial to watch Freeview channels when I also have sky stream

Yes, but Freeview must be through an aerial connected to a television tuner input or dedicated Freeview box, not the Sky puck aerial port (which isn't active on UK hardware)

Yes.

An aerial plugged into your TV that you use with the Sky Stream puck will work fine. You will be using the TV aerial socket and the TV supplied epg.

The aerial socket that is on the back of the Sky Stream puck will not though work in the UK.

Yes you can as long as it's connected to your TV Aerial port @hoppit21

Freeview is a brand name. The TV you have may have a free-to-air DTT tuner rather than the branded Freeview. Or it may have the Freely app for streaming free-to-air channels. 

In any case, the aerial socket on a Sky Stream puck is pretty useless as they have deactivated the free-to-air accessibility on it. It only offered a basic free-to-air EPG on the rare occasion that it was activated.
