House no aerial

nad78

I live in a house with outside aerial since living here we have always use sky or a BT box to get television. However, with the increased cost of these is there any other way I can get TV without spending the £20 a month. We like watching the five normal channels and then we have Netflix and Amazon Prime accounts. Please help.

Use Internet to deliver your services.

Smart TV, Firestick, IPTV services.

Here's a simple guide from the freeview website:-

If you go down the firestick/chromecast free TV route which I use for catchup tv, you are still going to need to pay the subscriptions for prime and for netflix.

Surely the remedy to not having a TV aerial, is to get a TV aerial, either internal or external ‘fixed’ aerial, probably around £100 installed, or a ‘internal’ set top type aerial ( £20-£30) or a DIY install ( fitted in the loft for arguments sake ) probably around the same cost as a set top aerial.
There are ‘free’ feeds of terrestrial TV on the internet, but I doubt they are particularly good.

Can't you get a lot of TV via sky without paying or have they stopped that.  I certainly do but then I bought my box a lot of years ago & have never paid for sky or do they expect the box back?

Surely the remedy to not having a TV aerial is to use the Sky dish (you do have a Sky dish?) and a Freesat box?

I was not technical and got rid of my skybox in place of my BT one.

If you've got a satelite dish then a £30 - 40 freesat box from any supermarket (mine came from Asda) will give you the main free to view channels see below

Indoor aerial

An indoor aerial would depend on the area.  Where I am we need about an 8 ft mast attached to the chimney, which can be a little interesting to watch when it is windy.
