Hi

 

Currently all freeview channels need an aerial and some on demand players such as ITVX etc will not work without the aerial connected as they use the signal to identify your region.

I understand it needs an aerial, @chartman:

It's i-player etc that doesn't, you use that over the Internet, but Freeview itself does need an aerial.
