EE TV via Arial & Freeview Signal

[GaryB17]

Hello, I have been thinking adding EETV to my BT Broadband account but have a few questions if I may? I'm currently using freeview via a loft aerial with 4G splitter.

1. 10 days ago I lost all channels (Sandy Heath), tried various retunes, some days it picks up 50 channels, other the full 200+, others like today 0. If I had the EE TV box, does this still run through that aerial to Sandy Heath, so basically Id still not have any live TV channels? IP TV is fine. I had read the recent high air pressure may be affecting, but its now low pressure and still have the issue. Nothings changed in the loft, we never go up there, it was working perfectly before and like I say I do get channels some days so doubt its the hardware.
2. If I have the main EE TV box, do BT/EE provide a 2nd mini box for another room or is that an additional cost.
3. As I understand, there are 2 modes, Aerial Mode or Internet Mode, am I correct in saying with Internet Mode I don't get live TV (BBC/ITV etc)
4. I currently have Netflix and NOWTV that is watched across various TVs, mobiles or Ipads, if EE take this subscription over, am I then only able to watch on the TV connected to the EE Box. So,the kids room wont then be able to watch Netflix or Now on their Ipads without another subscription outside of EE?
5. The killer question. Whats the benefits of EE TV over Freeview (recording aside), I have an LG smart TV with all the apps installed to stream now, what do i get extra with EE TV?

Apologies for all the questions, just want to be sure before signing up.

Hi @GaryB17 

Welcome to the community.

You can add an extra EE TV Mini box when you're ordering, it does come with an additional cost.

You're correct that there are two modes, with the IP TV mode, you will still get most of the channels, including BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 + more. You can see some more information about the differences between aerial and IP modes here on this help page.

Depending on the package you choose, the Netflix plan would be either Standard with Adverts or Standard, which allows you to stream on two devices at a time. That's the same with Now TV.

The thing I love about it, is that Netflix, Now TV and the other catch-up apps are easily accessible through the same interface.

Thank you Chris, much appreciated. If I understood your reply, in IP TV mode I can watch live TV (BBC, it etc), is that correct? So I wouldn't nessarily need an aerial? Just concerned that my current signal issues with Free view would still be an issue with EETV.

Regarding Netflix/Now do BT simply take over the billing, nothing else changes then? So kids can watch in iPads using the same logins as now using the apps on devices?

Many thanks again.
