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).

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.

If you need a Freeview HD box you can use this site to find a suitable device.
