A View to a thrill.

If you fancy up to 30 TV channels and interactive programmes at the touch of a button, go digital Freeview.

How many times have you sat down, switched on the box and found there’s nothing you want to watch? If that sounds all too familiar, then it’s high time you discovered digital TV through a Freeview digital Set-top box. As well as increasing your choice of programmes with up to 30 Free-to-view TV channels plus 20 radio channels, Freeview digital TV gives you a better quality picture in a widescreen format.

It’s also fully interactive, which means you can use your remote control to access all kinds of information, from programme summaries and football results to tomorrow’s weather forecast. You can also participate in interactive programmes. What’s more, Freeview digital TV can display all this information alongside whatever you’re watching-so you won’t miss any of your favourite soaps or football matches. Now that’s what I call a view to a thrill!
