Free-to-air TV covers the free TV channels you receive through broadcasters such as ABC, SBS, Seven Network, Nine Network, Network Ten, Southern Cross, Prime and the WIN Network.
Each broadcaster provides multiple channels in both standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) formats.
An easy way to tell if you are watching digital TV, is whether you can receive ABC2, ABC3 or SBS TWO. These are all standard definition digital channels, so if you can view them (and you don’t have subscription TV), it means your TV is capable of receiving digital broadcasts.
To see which free-to-air TV channels are available in your area, either visit the Freeview webiste or use the mySwitch tool.
