    Mostly not.

    You need UK DTT reception via an Aerial.
    You need A subscription and Freeview/Topup TV receiver with card slot.

    Almost all the free channel (DTT Freeview) are FTA (free to Air) on Satellite (Freesat or FTA receiver or Sky receiver and a Dish).

    There is a bigger variety of Pay channels on Sky (Satellite) or UPC(cable).

    It's a pretty dead service even if you close enough to a UK DTT mast to get it.

    Thanks Watty,
    I was looking for ways to get rid of sky tv and keep stations like living tv. I just bought a pvr and have the free to air channels on it but was trying to get more, if you have any suggestions re same i'd be delighted to hear.

    Investigate buying your favorite DVD box sets once online rather than paying Sky for Repeats.

    WE have FTA Satellite, 4x terrestrial and buy DVD sets. McCyver Season 1 on it's way.

    Nearly time to start re-watching Babylon5 Universe when DS9 DVDs are done.

    PAyTV = Pay for same repeats over and over
    DVDs = pay for the repeats once.
