3C Freeview Tip!
You don't actually need to have the TV switched on to listen to 3C.  Most Freeview boxes have an audio cable which you can link directly into a 'spare' or 'aux' audio input socket on your hi-fi. This way you can listen to 3C on channel 724 on Freeview with the TV set turned off, and just the digi-box turned on and tuned to Channel 724.

You can also buy a second Freeview digi box so you can listen to 3C while other family members watch TV!
