No idea, I'm completely clueless in this regard: I haven't had a TV since before digital.
The channel is Talking Pictures TV.
I've got DVI, not sure about HDMI.
So the tuner just plugs into the monitor, rather than the PC? Sounds more straightforward than I thought.
Scilly.Suffolk-
DVI will just carry the picture, HDMI will carry picture and sound. Most monitors have a HDMI on the back and some small speakers built in. I recently did similar, got a now tv hd smart box and just plugged it into the extra port.
I'm using this box, make sure to cancel the subscription it wants you into.

If you use DVI you'll need a separate speaker/headphones, HDMI should be fine so long as your monitor has a speaker (otherwise you'll obviously need a separate one).
Or any of the USB sticks, the HDhomerun or whatever will get that channel as well but are a bit pricier and not quite as user-friendly as a freeview box. You may need an aerial upgrade if it's an old one

Isn't Freeview just the name for the over the aerial digital tv. It doesn't matter whether it's a Freeview box or another digital tuner in a box or tv, the channels are the same. The Freeview specification is that it adds internet connectivity and IPTV, is it a digital channel rather than aerial?
But if you really need a Freeview box does your monitor not have a HDMI or DVI port to plug it into?
