∙ 11y agoFreeview is the terrestrial digital television service for the UK.
Any digital tuner made for the UK market will receive Freeview, depending on the location and aerial that feeds it. Imported digital receivers are often incompatible for a number of reasons and are likely to receive nothing or a limited number of channels.
Note that Freeview now offers HD channels and an HD receiver is required to receive them.
Finally, some of the oldest digital receivers are no longer compatible with the current broadcasts. Receivers from the 1990s may not work today.

Why does a tv with built in ntsc-atsc tuner do not pick up antenna signals?
On the settings or set up menu the tuner might not be set to receive off air signals or might be in the cable mode or it might be in the analog mode and you no longer have any analog stations to receive. Check to see if you are in the digital and antenna modes.
I have a 2008 Toshiba SD-H400 digital recorder made for TIVO which worked with cable input But now no signal when I attach to my digital antenna Any solution maybe a digiital to cable converter?
If the DVR has a tuner, you might have to switch it to antenna from cable. If it has no tuner you might need a converter box.
Which tv has a built in digital tuner?
Any television you buy new will come with a digital tuner.It's now required by the FCC.If you buy a second hand tv it probably won't have one,but if you have cable you're okay.
How do you know if your TV is digital or analog?
"Standard-definition" (meaning 480i) Cathode-ray tube televisions are analog. CRT TV's are easily identifiable by their immense weight and the fact that their depth nearly matches their width and height. Newer, hi-def (720p, 1080i/p) televisions are almost all either lcd, plasma, or dlp, all of which are digital. for digital TV monitor shouldnot be of CRT.
Does a TV need a scart connection to use a Freeview set top box?
A Freeview set top box is a digital television receiver for use in the UK and delivers analogue signals at the output, for use with analogue televisions. All Freview receivers have video and audio outputs and normally these are found on a scart connector, the European multi-pin AV interface. If a television has no scart connector, it may be possible to use separate video and audio connectors, normally phono or RCA sockets. If the television doesn't have any kind of video input, then the only option is to use the RF connection. Not all Freview units have an RF output. If the Freeview signal must be taken into the television, then the receiver must have the output signal encoded to RF. Note that some Freeview receivers have an RF output but only to loop through the antenna signal and do not deliver the digital programme to the RF output. To be sure that it will work, you must ask the question "does the output of this receiver feed the RF output?" Remember that many salesmen will not know the answer to this, may say yes to get the sale and you get a unit that doesn't work. If that happens, you are fully entitled to return the unit and get a FULL refund as long as you asked the question before you bought it. (The Sale of Good Acts make complete provision for this). This isn't meant to be an attack on salesmen by the way but I have a big problem with poorly trained sales staff gicing out incorrect information!

Does a DVD recorder with a digital tuner allow you to record one channel while watching another channel?
It depends on the set you are watching on and your cable service. If you have a cable service that sends in all channels, digital and analog, without the need for a set top box, then you can get all the channels available if your DVR and television both have digital tuners built into them. If your DVR does not have a digital tuner, it will only be able to pick up the standard channels and not the "virtual" channels available through digital service (i.e. 8.1 or 17.4, etc.). If the DVR does have a digital tuner, but you are still watching on an old analog CRT television set, then you won't be able to watch the virtual channels while the DVR is recording, since the old TV won't pick up those in between channels. So, the answer is, if you have a set with a digital tuner, and a DVR with a digital tuner, you will be able to watch any channel while recording any other channel, as long as they are not encoded. If one of the two does not have a digital tuner, then your watching selection will be limited to what it can pick up.
What instruments is the Korg TM-40 Digital Tuner Metronome for?

HD ready tv with freeview built in and can't receive BBC HD or itv HD why not?
It may be a HD TV with Standard Freeview built in. Standard Freeview does not automatically contain any of the HD channels as it is not a HD service. However, you would get HD channels such as BBC HD and ITV HD if your TV had Freeview HD built in. So, my recommendation would be to buy a Freeview HD box. Remember to check on the Freeview HD website to find out when the service is rolling out in your area, as the service is actually brand new. My postcode doesn't receive this signal until June 2011, so be careful. The service at the moment is very limited.
Does any sony trinitron tv from year 2000 have a digital tuner?
Most likely not, since the digital craze didn't start until a few years later.

If you have a HDTV do you still require a set top box given that I am having problems with receiving a particular station?
No. The set top box includes a digital tuner, which is what enables the TV to change channels and interpret a digital signal. However, if your screen is an HDTV it already includes a tuner which is capable of high-definition (HD) video reception. As HD is simply a high-resolution digital signal, this also means that your HDTV will receive any digital signal, and does not require the separate set top or "converter box". On the other hand, in some rare instances, retailers have marketed HD and SD (standard-definition) monitors alongside their TVs. These DO NOT include tuners, and as such must be used with a digital set-top box in order to receive current digital broadcasts. Further, in many instances, VCRs and DVD recorders may not include a tuner. This means in order to record from a particular channel, one must have the set top box (which includes a tuner) in order to record using such a VCR or DVD recorder. However, this is easily remedied if one ALREADY has a tuner with an audio/video output; in many cases, their existing cable or satellite receiver already serves this purpose, as it would have a tuner already. If you are having problems receiving a particular station, an antenna upgrade or amplifier may remedy the situation, but many times local broadcasters are the culprit, using lower strength digital broadcasts than their former analog counterparts.

What are receiving devices in computer?
As the name suggest, a receiving device receives data that is transmitted by a sending device. Your wireless router and network access points are both senders and receivers. A receive-only device is one that receives but does not transmit. An RF receiver is an example of a receive-only device. E.g., a Freeview receiver can receive digital television transmissions but it does not transmit. A receiver is obviously not a computer in the traditional sense, but it does have microprocessors, memory and is re-programmable through firmware upgrades. It's primary purpose is to decode the transmissions it receives so, by any definition of the word, it is a computer.
