Freesat HD

Sorry if I sound like an idiot asking this.

I have just bought a new TV which has Freesat HD built in.

Without sounding like a pillock, do I need it to be plugged into a satellite dish to receive this?

Thanks.

Yes you do.

Freeview on the other hand just uses a standard aerial.

I do believe a different aerial from the "standard" which is normal tv (1,2,3,4,5) is required for freeview...

By the looks of it you only need a normal freesat aerial for this... the box does the rest...

Nope, you can get freeview through a normal arial, the signal tends to be slightly sub-par though.

Freeview = Aerial
FreeSat = Satellite dish :)

i THINK you can use your old sky dish to receive freesat if you don't use sky anymore.
somebody correct me if im wrong.
