Free-to-air

Free-to-air TV is the channels you receive through broadcasters such as ABC, SBS, Seven Network, Nine Network, Network Ten, Southern Cross, Prime and the WIN Network.

How can I tell if I have digital free-to-air TV?

An easy way to tell if you have digital free-to-air is if you can receive ABC2, ABC3 or SBS TWO. These are standard definition channels, so if you can view them it means your TV can receive digital signal.

Each broadcaster provides multiple channels in both standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) formats. To receive all the Freeview channels in your area, you’ll need to convert to high definition (HD) digital TV equipment.
