Benefits of Freeview+ HD

Most of us like to watch our favourite shows and movies over and over again. For a long time this meant heading out to the movie rental store to pick up a titles that had to be back in a few days. Wouldn't it be great to have access to your favourite shows whenever you want to watch them all recorded in high definition? Well this is what Freeview+ HD gives you access to, and if the idea of having that kind of access to your favourite programmes sounds like something that you would like you should consider purchasing a Freeview+ HD box.

What does Freeview+ HD do?

Freeview+ HD units allow you to record programs to a hard drive and an important consideration when deciding between the many available Freeview+ HD boxes is the size of the hard drive. With boxes that have hard drives up to 1 TB you will have plenty of space to record seasons of your favourite programmes and series, sitcoms and films. In fact, with 1 TB of space you can record about 500 hours worth of television, which should be enough to satisfy even the biggest television lover. If you have a DVD recorder you can connect it to your Freeview+ HD box and burn your favourite programs to DVD so that you can take them with you.

More common questions when considering getting Freeview+ HD box

Some may wonder if they can still enjoy Freeview+ HD if they have a shared aerial. The answer is it depends, but you will have to do some legwork to find out for sure. The first thing to do is determine if you live in one of the areas that might be affected by trying to use Freeview+ HD with a shared aerial. A quick visit to the Freeview site will allow you to determine if you are affected. If you are affected then you should ask your landlord if he can contact the aerial installer to see if the shared connection will work.

The audio available with Freeview+ HD is another concern for many. Most of us are used to enjoying movies in 5.1 surround sound and you may wonder if this will be available through your Freeview+ HD receiver. The answer is it depends on how your receiver is connected to your entertainment system. If you use an HDMI output from your Freeview+ HD receiver to your audio system that can process 5.1 surround sound then you will be able to enjoy full 5.1 surround sound with all your HD programming.

It is important to understand what your Freeview+ HD is capable of before you start connecting components. The right kind of wiring can make a very big difference. You want to be sure that the images you are seeing are of the highest possible quality and that the audio that comes through your entertainment system is the best available. If you still have questions regarding how the components of your entertainment system should best be connected in order to get the best from your Freeview+ HD receiver you can contact the manufacturer for the best way to connect everything.
