Please note that in some areas reception using the supplied portable aerial may be difficult. This is due to the ongoing roll-out of Freeview in the UK, for further advice and access to the roll-out schedule, we recommend freeview.co.uk. Signal boosters and amplifiers may help improve reception in marginal areas. After roll-out, distance from transmitter, tall local structures and density of walls and ceilings may all still affect reception.
