Keeping this in consideration, do analogue aerials still work?

Aerials that were installed long before digital TV was created, are still capable of getting Freeview, as long as they are in range of a Freeview transmitter. Freeview, as well as analogue TV, is transmitted in the band 21 to 65 UHF, which can be received by standard TV aerials.

Similarly, when did they stop making analog TVs? Under the Digital Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005, full-power broadcasting of analog television in the United States was initially planned to have ceased after February 17, 2009.

Simply so, how do I know if my TV is analog or digital?

Look for an "HDTV" logo on the front of your television. All DTV sets have such a labels or markings that may contain the words "Integrated Digital Tuner," "Digital Tuner Built-In," "Digital Receiver," "Digital Tuner," "DTV" or "ATSC." If you can't find one of these logos, you have an analog television.

Can I use my old aerial for Freeview?

Yes, you need an aerial to receive Freeview on TV. If you already have an aerial, make sure the cables are undamaged and connected to the aerial point in your home. The aerial needs to be securely plugged into the socket in the back of your Freeview TV or recorder.
