    Do you get extra channels with freeview?

    We are thinking of getting rid of the Sky box & buying a free view instead - we have a basic Sky package - not interested in sport. We really looking to save money & don't watch much TV but like factual documentaries etc. Would freeview suit us?
    Sorry to high jack the thread but seemed the right place to post.

    Yes - you get about 30 watchable channels (70-ish in total, but I'm not counting channels like QVC, Adult Filth, Teletext Holidays, etc.). It's better that the standard five terrestrial channels, anyway.
