Digital terrestrial TV offers around 70 TV channels, of which four are in the high definition format, offering viewers sharper, higher resolution pictures.

There are three main metropolitan networks, the Seven Network, Nine Network and Network 10. Although primarily targeted at metropolitan areas, these names are also used in some regional areas (others choose to run the same programming as these stations, but use independent names).

35 TV channels

Today, more than fifty national free-to-air networks exist. Other than the non-commercial educational (NCE) PBS, which is composed of member stations, the largest terrestrial television networks are the traditional Big Three television networks (ABC, CBS and NBC).

You do need an aerial to receive Freeview live on TV through the TV Guide but can also view certain channels on internet connected devices without one.

Do I Need a Digital Aerial for a Smart TV? Yes. To watch Freeview and digital TV at the best possible quality, you need a digital aerial with at least a wideband receiver. The wideband receiver will allow you to receive all channels that are within range, not limited to a certain selection.

If you wish to receive Freeview through your smart TV, you will also need an aerial to do so. However, since you have a smart television it should have internet TV services such as Netflix, Amazon, BBC iPlayer and more built in. You don’t require an aerial to watch these services.
