A TV Aerial – The free channels are broadcast over the air, so you need an aerial that can intercept those signals. It can either be an outdoor aerial (usually on your roof), or a cheap indoor aerial.

The YouView+ boxes also have a hard drive for recording content.

A YouView Set-top Box – This is the main receiver that connects to your TV.The components you need for YouView (other than a telly) are: The picture quality on YouView goes up to HD on supported channels, and can even go up to Ultra HD 4K on the newer boxes – but there are no 4K Freeview channels yet, so 4K would only work with some limited on-demand content. In the past, YouView also had the Sky VOD Store as an app – but Sky removed it in 2016. Note that some of the very old YouView boxes no longer support some of the mentioned apps – ITV Hub, for example, was removed from some last year.Īdditionally, if you’re a BT or TalkTalk subscriber, you can get more paid-for content through them. S4C – On-demand shows from the Welsh-language channel.STV – On-demand shows from the Scottish channel.UKTV Play – Free catch-up from Dave, Yesterday, Really and Drama.milkshake! – Channel 5’s shows for pre-preschoolers.Again, only available on some YouView boxes.

YouView, launched back in 2012, was a project backed by the major UK telecommunications companies and broadcasters.Įven though Freeview (the service offering free-to-air channels via a tuner and an aerial – see our full guide) was already around for years, the companies were looking for an “upgraded” service – one that’ll offer both free channels, a catch-up service, and the ability to pay for TV “add-ons”.
