Freeview/Free Sat Options in Dublin

    Just wondering if you have any advice for me, as I'm clueless about this.

    I'm currently living in an apartment in Dublin, and have a TV. When we moved in there was a UPC lead, and we connected it to the TV. We were able to pick up E4 and Channel 4 only until last week. This seems to have been disconnected, and we aren't able to pick up anything.

    I was wondering what would be our best freeview/freesat option? I had a look on adverts.ie for something we could use to pick up a few channels. To be honest, we aren't at all fussy, so a few channels would be fine, a bit of background noise in the evenings.

    We have a friend that also has UPC in their apt, and they are moving out soon, so was wondering when they had UPC disconnected, would their UPC box be of any use even to pick up channels?

    Freeview is not available in Dublin, Freesat needs a dish. Saorview needs an aerial. The UPC box your friend is using is not his, it belongs to UPC who will want it back when he disconnects.

    Freeview is available in some higher altitude areas when using big external antennas.
