After ditching useless Virgin, I need to get myself Freeview.
Couple of Q.
Do you need to attach it to your external ariel (on the roof)? i think mine is broken.
Also, what is the best price for one with a card slot?

Yes you need an external aerial, if you are very lucky you may get good reception with indoor one, but unless you live next to the transmitter or on top of a mountain /20 storey building this is unlikely
I have just had a new aerial fitted as my old one was busted. £90 for supply & fit including all new cable from roof to TVNumerus non sum0 -
Damn, so i need to buy a box plus an ariel!!!!0

Damn, £90, not worth it. That means I have no TV until I move house. The missus will be happy!!!!0

Not necessarily, what TV do you have?jetsetwilly wrote: »Damn, so i need to buy a box...."A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

The old ITV freeview stb ON Digital, are incompatible with the new viewing cards for pay view. They still work for free-to-air channels though.0 -
