To view Freeview TV you will need an antena. Either on top of your Television of on top of your house for better signals. You will also need either a TV with built in freeview or a freeview box.

Yes you can do that.
You have to "loop through" the aerial. That is - you plug the aerial directly into the Freeview box and then use a short link cable to connect the Freeview box to the tv aerial socket.
