Free additional channels available via your aerial
Digital Terrestrial TV (DTT) channels can be viewed through your aerial alongside your Tiscali TV channels.
Also, by tunning your set top box to receive these new free DTT channels you will get local news and any regional programmes for your area. These will appear in your EPG after you have set up the DTT channels as below.

In order to view the DTT channels you must have:
1. An aerial that can detect full strength DTT broadcast signals (the strength of your signal will be indicated while you perform the scan by following the instructions opposite).
2. Live in an area that can receive digital channels (To check, visit: http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/).
Please note: The quality of signal can be affected by a combination of factors (listed below), which may mean you are unable to receive some or all of the channels above.
- You live in a block of flats
- You have an indoor aerial
