annetted

hiya, been reading other threads and am a bit confused. live in flat in dublin city - can i cancel my UPC (trying to cut bills!!) - buy one of those freeview box things and still have TV stations? do you need a dish to make the freeview thing work?

if you don't need a dish -could someone tell me which freeview thing to buy and where is a good place to buy it?

Thanks a million.

- Saorview is Irish DTT via aerial.
- Freeview is UK DTT via aerial. (probably not available at your location)
- Freesat is the UK channels free via dish.

To get all the free channels you will require both an aerial and satellite dish. Pay channels (Sky, Sports, Movies, etc.) require a Sky or UPC sub.

Some homework for you

thank you - that is really helpful. coz we live in a flat, we can't put up a dish - so we will use the other option. thanks again

if you're an owner try getting a few others to agree to put a shared dish on the roof


Sky were trying to do this for apartment; better still get Sky to do it and piggy back on this witha Freesat (UK) Dish or Freesat Card in Sky box
