Hi @Anonymous User

Firstly are you using the nowtv smart box like shown in the first picture below or the std black nowtv box shown on the second picture ?

Hi @Anonymous User

Thought that might have been the case when you mentioned the small nowtv black box.

Some bad news the nowtv standard black box (second picture) doesn't offer the Freeview channels on it, you can only access the four main terrestrial TV Apps such as BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4 and Demand 5, Plus other Apps but you will need the internet working

To watch live Freeview you will need the nowtv smart box (first photo) plus a TV aerial connected to the box to access the over the air Freeview channels and would still need an internet connection to setup the box before using the Freeview TV channels.

A quick question doesn't your TV have an inbuilt tuner to watch the Freeview channels and is the TV connected to a TV aerial ?

Also when is your internet going live,where hopefully you haven't got a long wait ?

Hi @Anonymous User

Is there a fixed TV aerial in your new home or are you going down the indoor portable aerial route if you are still interested in watching Freeview or maybe looking at an alternative option rather than Freeview or won't bother with over the air TV ?
