How To Watch Freeview TV in Bed As Well As On The Sofa

So your installer has selected the right aerial for you from the available aerials for Freeview. You've got your digital Freeview TV set up and connected to your Freeview aerial. You sit down on the sofa, snuggle up to your partner and enjoy your favourite programmes.

Can you Always Watch the Freeview TV you Want?

When it's time for the news, your partner wants to watch the new drama that's starting on another channel, or perhaps there's a really crucial football match that shouldn't be missed by just one of you. It's okay. You can go to bed early and watch whatever you want on the TV in your bedroom. But actually, you can't do that if you can't get Freeview TV on that set.

What about when your living room is crowded with your son's teenage friends watching the reality TV series you hate, and joining in with the shouts and jeers from the crowds on screen? Wouldn't you be happier if they were in another room altogether, so you could watch the Freeview channels you wanted in peace?

Did you Have a Multi-room System Installed With Your Freeview Aerial?

Unfortunately, unless your installers set up a multi-room system for your Freeview reception, with additional set top boxes for independent channel control where needed, your other TV sets still won't give you free view from your aerials for Freeview. The best way to get the multi-room TV system you want is to have an experienced Freeview aerial installer design and install it for you from the word go.

Get an Affordable Freeview Multi-room System Added

But if that didn't happen, all is not lost. There are a number of methods of connecting extra TV sets to aerials for Freeview. The simplest way is to add extra TV points and connect them to a central box in your loft, which is connected in turn to your free view aerial. You will also need a Freeview reception box for each TV set does not have Freeview built in. These cost from only $20 a box.

A reputable aerial Freeview installer will provide all this separately from the original installation, and you will be able to watch your own selection of Freeview channels wherever you have a television connected in your home. And with a digital Freeview aerial you will have a high quality of television picture all over your house. Watching TV from your bed will be a luxury you can enjoy whenever you like!

Freeview Decade Survey Claims Royal Inspiration

In a recent survey conducted by digital terrestrial broadcaster Freeview (UK), it was found that, amongst other popular opinions, Simon Cowell’s talent contest Britain’s Got Talent was listed as the region’s favourite TV show of the past 10 years, beating out the return of BBC franchise Doctor Who.

However, the study, which interviewed 2,000 UK adults on their opinions of TV between 2002-2012 (which would be considered odd by many until they realise the purpose of Freeview celebrating a decade since their initial launch), did not end with a simple ‘favourite TV show’ question, with the highlight of the results release by Freeview being the discovery of what was voted as ‘most uplifting TV moment’ of the period.

Of all the options that could have been chosen, it was one obviously fairly fresh in the minds of most people surveyed that won the voting in this department, as it was the live ’balcony kiss’ following the Royal Wedding last year, that took first place, said to be just ahead of the England rugby team’s fly-half Johnny Wilkinson scoring a last-second drop goal to win the Rugby World Cup in 2003 against host nation Australia.

Amongst other ‘moments’ (selected from across all genres including scripted programming, soap operas, reality TV, documentaries, and sport) were popular highlights from series such as EastEnders, Doctor Who, The Office, Formula One, and Only Fools and Horses. The top 20 list in full can be seen at the bottom of the page.

Meanwhile, Freeview used the survey to take the opportunity to see popular opinion on the state of the TV industry in the region, with results including that around 20% of those questioned believe that British TV has ‘never been better’, while ’33%’ believe it to be ‘the best in the world’. Other results included that it is a minority of people who now prefer live TV content ahead of ’on-demand’ or ‘timeshift’ methods, as nearly 30% claimed to support the more linear and traditional approach over the newer ones.

Impressionist and comedian Jon Culshaw, who presents a new online browser game (The Genirosity Game) on the Freeview website that celebrates their 10 years in action, said of the results of the uplifting TV survey: “Everyone loves getting the flags out and having a do for a good old royal wedding. We love a memorable sporting triumph or wondrous wildlife spectacle. So it’s no surprise that they’re all over the list of the nation’s most uplifting TV moments. Here’s to another ten years of uplifting telly.”
