Freeview HD: Starts 2009, but London misses out
Crave Ofcom has finally announced its plans for high definition channels on Freeview. Although we've known for some time that HD would come to Freeview eventually, it's taken the regulator quite a while to work out the fine details of how it will all...

TVonics DVR-FP250: Freeview, now with added playback

Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 900: Freeview on a stick
Crave Nothing pleases Crave like a USB Freeview adaptor, because it gives us a chance to catch up on the ugly underbelly of society otherwise known as daytime TV. We also like the fact that it can receive analogue TV as well, so if you're travelling and...

Gigabyte GSmart t600: Freeview on a phone
Crave Your Jeremy Kyle-loving self is going to want the t600 because it lets you watch Freeview. The picture quality is superb but only if you have a strong Freeview signal in your area. Admit it: you've got a penchant for daytime TV.

Freeview HD: BBC completes DVB-T2 trial on R&D's birthday

Hi-def over Freeview? The BBC has a cunning plan
Crave The problem is that Freeview has never been seen as a viable platform for high definition, because bandwidth is severely limited. So if we want hi-def via Freeview, what do we do that doesn't involve storming bid-up tv and forcing it off the air?

Opinion: Why Freeview is better than freesat
Crave So, if money was no object, it's fair to assume the quality of both Freeview and freesat would be much better. Freeview is quite limited in bandwidth because there's only so much space in the spectrum.

How will Freeview HD work?
Crave We've waited for ages, and now it seems that Ofcom has decided to allow high-definition channels to join the Freeview line-up, possibly from as early as next year. In addition to that, HD on Freeview will use the MPEG-4 format instead of the MPEG-2...

LG T80: Mobile Freeview for Nordic neighbours
Crave It's called the T80 and among the what-we-expected-in-2007 -not-2008 specifications, it supports DVB-T -- the digital TV technology that Freeview is built upon. Freeview on the move would be rubbish. It's a popular opinion at Crave that South...

Humax PVR-9200T: Freeview doubled
Crave Take the Humax PVR-8000T for example -- we bought this Freeview hard drive recorder when they were just a novelty, and now it looks old hat thanks to the new PVR-9200T. The 80GB hard drive has been upped to 160GB and the single Freeview tuner has...
