Anyway of getting Freeview without sky or virgin etc.....

[Storer 68]

Freeeview boxes work after a fashion. The £20 Tesco ones are liable to be faulty (keep the receipt). But all of them have lost sound and sometimes can't tune in and I have a high gain aerial pointing the right way (but in a poor reception area).

shouldn't buy rubbish then..................

Look out for Humax or TVonics for boxes.

and get a decent Scart plug
