Hi Darko,

Tiscali TV isn’t a Freeview service and licence its channels from the channel operators under commercial distribution agreements. Some channels are taken from DTT to complement the distribution down the phone line to allow customers the opportunity to watch and record two or more channel simultaneously on Tiscali+.

I think you've got to stop thinking of TTV as having a Freeview tuner. It has a DTT tuner to assist in the delivery and recording of some channels
