Can I use an Xbox 360 as a freeview of some sort ?

Karin from Harewood

I'm technologically challenged at the best of times ! I don't have a smart tv nor do I have a freeview box. I do however have a Xbox 360. To be able to watch tv, can I use this Xbox or do I need to get a smart tv or freeview box ? Any advice will be appreciated 😊
