aircooledheaven is right. All Freeview receivers are DVB-T but not all DVB-T receivers are Freeview. The Freeview bit actually specifies minimum performance and specs that a receiver must have, so for instance a receiver without an EPG or interactive will not get a Freeview sticker, but you will get all the TV channels.

Hi, please ignore the 3 previous bogus answers.
If your TV has the DVB logo then it means it has a built in digital TV tuner. Strictly speaking it should be called DVB-T (digital video broadcasting - terrestial). Freeview is simply a brand/trademark for DVB-T stations in the UK. So yes, if you are in the UK and your TV has the DVB logo on it, or in the manual, then you can get Freeview.
If you need further information then you can visit the following very informative (yet very dull) site:

Hope this helps

no-DVB merely means the tv is equipped to handle "the great digital switchover" already under way in the UK. for freeview the TV has to be equipped with a freeview tuner.
