[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 636838, member: 176256"] Ok, some more lingo for you first of all! FTA - Free to AIr. A channel that can be watched without any card. FTV - Free to View. A channel that needs a card to be able to watch it. There is normally a one-off payment for this type of card and the card will then last untl the next time that $ly change their cards (about every 5 years or so) Freeview - Digital TERRESTRIAL Television delivered through a normal TV aerial. Modern TVs can understand this type of signal but older ones need a set top box (STB) to be able to receive them. Freesat - Digital SATELLITE Television delivered through a satellite dish and using a Freesat STB to feed the TV. Freesat from Sky (FFS) - similar to Freesat but using one $ly's Digiboxes. There is also a special card, essentailly a stripped down $ly subscription card, so that you can get a few FTV channels that aren't available FTA. To strictly answer your question. Your TV will almost certainly receive Freeview TV but you will need to attach it to a normal TV aerial. The TV is probably a digital one that is HD ready - not quite what you wrote! [/QUOTE]
