Product Information

The overwhelming majority of channels received by Freeview boxes are digital terrestrial and therefore transmitted to you via an aerial connection. However, even on boxes without smart/catch-up features, there's a niche selection of internet channels available through a hardwired ethernet connection (which is a way of connecting to the internet). These internet channels include the likes of Ketchup TV, Box Nation and Planet Knowledge. For Apple users on iOS 8 or above, NOW TV works on all of the most recent iPhones (anything from an iPhone 4S upwards), as well as the iPod touch (4th generation upwards), plus the 2nd generation iPad and later. Unlike Freeview, which sends its signals over-the-air via transmitters, Freesat sends its signal via satellites. The channels selection is similar, though Freesat offers a wider variety of channels. Fortunately, you’ll should have to go through this process only once; but entering details to sign into your Now TV account, YouTube app and Sky Store can become tedious. Ditto for scrolling through the licence agreement.

Solved: Is the Now TV Box a freeview box? - NOW Community

One of the (long list of) questions that I asked before buying my smart box was ‘can you record live TV with a Now TV Smart Box?’. There are many things you can do with Now TV smart box, but that doesn’t include recording TV, yet. Read on to find out other solutions to record TV. Some YouView boxesalso offer additional pay-per-view channels and programmes, but with many Freeview boxes also offering catch-up TV these days (with Freeview Play), the two services have become almost identical. What Is Freesat? Well, you will be once you’ve signed up for an account online first. Once you’ve done that and selected which Now TV passes you’d like to sign up for (from a choice of Movies, Entertainment, Kids and Sports), you have to connect the box to your Wi-Fi network – or, you can use Ethernet if you’re feeling old-school.If you’ve bought a TV within the past year or so, it might even have Freeview Play built-in. All the same, having a Freeview tuner doesn’t necessarily mean that you don’t want a Freeview HD set-top box; the EPG you have might be slow, ugly or unstable, or the tuner may struggle to deliver a decent HD picture or upscale SD content to HD. Even those TVs that support recording can often only record one channel at a time. Scroll down through the menus on the left-hand side and you’ll see a standard EPG for live Freeview channels (aerial dependent, of course). My Apps shows all the apps you have installed, while the App Store allows you to add more.

You can use your device to stream Sky Cinema, Entertainment, Kids and Sky Sports channels. And, aside from Now TV Sports, the majority of TV shows and movies are available on catch-up or on-demand so you might find that there is no need to record them anyway. Bear in mind that Kindle Fire HD devices aren't supported, and neither are Windows phones – but you can find setup info for Windows tablets here. A TV Aerial: Freeview channels are broadcast over the air, so you need an aerial that can intercept those signals. It can either be an outdoor aerial (on your roof or side of the house), or a cheap, indoor aerial. If you need one, take a look at our guide to buying the best indoor aerials. Keep in mindYou can't watch Bonus Streams with a Sports Day or Mobile Membership. NOW Boost features, including full HD and 50 frames per second, aren't available on Bonus Streams. Other interactive services If you don’t have an internet/ethernet connection, don’t worry. These additional channels are optional, and your Freeview box will still be able to receive standard major TV channels, including from the BBC, ITV and UKTV.Please note any quoted time slot is approximate and does not guarantee delivery between those times. Upon receipt of your item we will provide a FOC repair including any mechanical parts, if in the unlikely event the unit is beyond economical repair we will provide a like for like replacement. The next question to ask is whether you want to be able to record live TV from the Freeview channels.

For Freesat, you would need a satellite dish on your roof (or the side of the house), and a Freesat receiver, either built-in to your TV or as a separate Freesat set-top box. What Are Internet Streaming Devices? The Smart Box comes with an HDMI cable and batteries for the remote, so once you’ve plugged in the power and connected it to your television, you’re pretty much ready to go. As mentioned, some Freeview boxes combine these two services – they offer you direct over-the-air channels, as well as catch-up apps that use your broadband connection, saving you a box. However, most dedicated streaming devices offer a bigger library of apps than Freeview boxes that also offer streaming. Freeview relies on over-the-air reception. If your indoor aerial isn’t good enough, or – more commonly – if you live in an area where the Freeview signal is too weak – you won’t get a high-quality picture on your TV, or – in worst case scenarios – won’t be able to watch Freeview at all. For most people, Freeview still requires an aerial. However, there are now a few options in the market, that let you stream Freeview channels via the internet, without requiring a long-term contract: Sky Glass, Sky Stream and Virgin Media’s Stream Box.
