- Hi I am thinking of getting one of these and getting rid of virgin lol, what kind of aerial do I need to run this, or does it run off a standard one, thanks and great site by the way
- Hi Tony, many thanks for your question on the Philips HDT8520.
These units run off of a standard Freeview aerial - to receive the benefits of Freeview HD you will need to check whether your location has been digitally switched over (this can be checked here: http://www.freeview.co.uk/availability ). If you have not yet been switched over this unit will still function correctly but you will not be able to receive Freeview HD channels (the list of Freeview HD channels can be found here: http://www.freeview.co.uk/Channels - Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
