    I have a TV with built in digital channels and I'm just wondering does anybody know is it possible to pick up UK digital channels without having an ariel on the roof?

    Depends on which part of the country you live in, but unlikely...

    First you are relying on overspill from UK transmitters so you have to overlook the boarder.

    Check teletext page 284 on all the UK channels.

    If you can't already get UK channels on your existing attic aerial then it's unlikely.


    Alternativley look at aerials people are using locally to get UK TV , because it's a pretty good indicatior of what you will need.


    You can pick up UK channels on a free to air satellite box for about €100 , this is about the same price as some places are asking for a "digital" TV aerial with built in signal booster.
