Satellite Freeview

goodison

I have a terrestrial (UK) Freeview receiver (Daewoo model DS608P). Would it be possible to access Freeview signals from Astra 2 28.2.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Sorry it is not possible.
You have a terrestical receiver.
It will have to be a satellite receiver to be able to receive the signal from 28.2

Your best option, if you only want to watch the BBC channels etc (but not ITV/Ch4/Ch5) in the clear, is to get a second hand Sky Digibox.

Best, as in they are the most widely available.

Plus services like BBCi, and other interactive services will work on a Sky digibox, but not on a FTA receiver.
