Freeview is the only free-to-air UK digital terrestrial television service. It is delivered by the company DTV Services Ltd, a joint venture between the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, BSkyB and transmitter operator Arqiva. It was launched in 2002.[1] The service provides consumer access via an aerial to the six DTT multiplexes covering the United Kingdom. In April 2014 it had some 60 DVB-T TV channels, 26 digital radio channels, 10 HD channels, 6 text services, 11 streamed channels, and 1 interactive channel.[2][3][4] A number of new HD channels are rolling out in 2014,[5][6] and up to 10 new HD channels are planned to be launched later in the year, from a new group of multiplexes awarded to Arqiva.[7] The new HD channels were launched in selected areas on 10 December 2013 with a further rollout expected during 2014.
DTV Services' delivery of standard-definition television and radio is labeled Freeview, while its delivery of HDTV is called Freeview HD. Reception of Freeview requires a Freeview tuner, either in a separate set-top box or built into the TV set. Since 2008 all new TV sets sold in the United Kingdom must have a built-in Freeview tuner. Freeview HD requires a special tuner, capable of handling HDTV signals. Digital video recorders (DVRs) with a built-in Freeview tuner are labeled Freeview+, in line with the British tradition of calling TV service dependent DVRs the service name plus a "+", established in 2002 by BSkyBs Sky+ DVRs. Depending on model, DVRs and HDTV sets with a Freeview tuner may offer regular Freeview or Freeview HD.
