By | July 18, 2011

I have recently just built my new htpc and its working great, but i need to setup the TV tuner in order to watch freeview HD on windows media center.

Freeview is the name for terrestrial digital television broadcasting in the UK and a new and simple way to watch digital TV programs without subscribing to any commercial operators and paying them a monthly subscription fee. It provides high picture and sound quality compared to the traditional analogue TV due to the digital transmission of TV signal not being easily interrupted during the course of transmission by other electromagnetic waves. Freeview HD is the best-ever argument for the digital switchover. For the 50 per cent of the country that can currently pick them up, the high-definition channels from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and S4C are a razor-sharp, colour-saturated glimpse into the future. Just like standard-definition Freeview channels, the HD ones are terrestrial broadcasts and free to everyone.

This is a step by step guides you how to free watch Freeview HD TV on windows media center.
