RE: Re: Freeview or sky dish with free-to-air

["Young, Jeff" <Jeff.Young@xxxxxxxx>]

Interesting - I live in Bath Spa and it seems that I need to spend
=A3120.0=

having a new ariel installed to get freeview.  I currently have no ariel on
the roof ( in roof void ) and I'd quite like to avoid installing a massive
ariel on the chimney.  We have a double roof with a gully running between -
perfect place to install a dish and no-one would know - house is listed !

Couple of other points - I have a Tivo (in attic) and 3 young children (not
in attic at the moment) so children channels are a must.  Does this make

solution better over the other ?

jeff,

I have both and it's a bit bizzare because not all channels are free=20
to both formats (i.e Sky Sports News is free on Freeview but=20
subcriber on Sky Digital). The Sky Digital seems to have generally=20
better reception but that's dependant on where you live (on the=20
South Coast the Freeview signal is notoriously weak).
