    whats the deal with them. I keep hearing that they can be recieved on free to air... but also hear freesat recievers block them..

    but have also heard that are only available on freeview by aerial in the uk?

    can anyone clear that up for me? :(

    If you were able to receive the UK channels via aerial before then using the same aerial and freeview box you can pick up the freeview channels.Check the freeview website to see what channels are available.
    A lot of people along the East coast are using their old 'English' aerials now to pick up freeview.

    Do you have to use an aerial amplifier to pick up uk freeview tho?
    as Dublin isnt it a signal hotspot to recieve?

    If you didn't get the UK channels via aerial before forget about it.
