Where Do I Buy Freeview Approved Devices?
Freeview doesn't make, sell or install any equipment.
The best place to get Freeview Approved equipment (including MyFreeview) is a Freeview Accredited Retailer.
Some offer set-up & tuning services, please enquire in-store & check service charges as well as finance options available.
How Do I Set It Up?
If you already have a satellite dish or UHF aerial, it's generally easy.
You'll find instructions included with Freeview Approved devices – please follow those and watch the Freeview set up videos for general guidance.
If you don't have the necessary dish or aerial, it may be best to contact an installer – such as Clearvision (nationwide Freeview Accredited Installer) – for a quote.
Complete installation package (which includes the compatible Freeview Approved devices) & finance are available, for payment terms & conditions, please contact Clearvision directly.
And That's It!
Once the right equipment is correctly installed, Freeview is yours to enjoy – for years to come – all for free!
