    I've got FreeSat in the back kitchen but needed a dish, the FreeView in my lounge didn't need a dish.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    Freesat needs a dish feed, but Freeview feeds from an aerial, so wouldn't need a dish.

    Have you tried asking your neighbours what TV service they use?

    Both sides I can see have dishes. SO I am perplexed when the landlord tells me the management company will not allow dishes!:mad:

    I am not asking anyone here about how they got it. I don't think it would matter anyways. I cannot install it if the estate agents are now allowing it.

    But does require a subscription. If an aerial is allowed, YouView would be your platform and box of choice.

    I believed Now TV only requires a subscription for the 'pay for' channels, and the free catchup services were all still available without subscription.

    Now instead of not typo, I think (the W can be annoyingly close to the T on my keyboard too).
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    Maybe but it upto the OP to check their spelling before posting to make a point clear, and its three keys away so not an easy typo.
