''Freeview'' is actually a whole other ballgame
See - > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeview_%28UK%29

If you actually mean ''Free To Air'', then yes, all you need to do is put up a dish, align it in the correct way and run a line down to your 2nd hand sky box. :cool:

If the box comes with an expired (but active) GB Sky card it will also decode the "FreesatFromSky" programmes.
