What sort of TV do I need?

As Freeview HD will broadcast in 1080i, you will need either a Full HD TV (1080p), or an HD Ready TV that is capable of displaying pictures at 1080i (interlaced). Some HD Ready TVs are only capable of displaying 720p or 720i so make sure you read the small print!

Freeview HD Receiver

It is expected that existing Freeview set top boxes will not be sufficient to receive the improved high definition broadcasts and therefore most viewers will need to buy a new Freeview HD box (either a HD receiver or later a HD recorder).

Freeview HD Channels

At the launch of HD television on Freeview, there will only be four tv channels broadcast - BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. These High Definition channels are expected to be broadcast in 1080i resolution.
