Youview setup without an aerial

Hi guys,

Any ideas how to setup the new Youview without a TV aerial to the TV ? I have Sky, but like the idea of the single common Youview interface for catchup - and fancied giving it a try ..

I go through the setup, but I can't seem to get past being forced to go through a tuning process - either aerial or cable - neither of course finds any channels and the setup process ends.

Can Youview be setup on the Bravias to juse the Catch up (online) functionality ?

Thanks for the reply.

Seems the answer is no - you can't setup Youview (even on a Bravia TV) without having an aerial.

Not the best implmentation of a service - but I'll have to see if I can aquire an aerial just get past the setup.
