I currently have Virgin TV on the TV in the living room and want to get rid of it. We use freeview on a TV in another room via an aerial connection and would like to replace it with that. The serial port in the living room is on the other side of the room and would have to come past a door either way to get a lead to the TV. I currently have the Freeview app on kodi on that TV (via rasberry pi) which is ok but I haven't got a remote for it and there's no EPG so it's not an easy replacement for the Virgin TV for live TV.
Is there anyway to get standard Freeview on this TV, with a menu, without connecting to the aerial? it's an older swing smart TV and has a built in tuner. What would I need?
