thank iank01 , but that wouldnt be an option for us, budget wouldnt run to subscriptions , together with paying a tv licence, and its only the BBC channels that are missing, i begrudge sending money to Rupert Murdock.
i assume the NOW TV , you have to be on wi-fi,

thanks iank01, i've done a bit of research and so yes, it looks like a freesat HD box is the way to go any recommendations as to which box to get,
things for me to bear in mind is, i find it really easy to set up the sky dish, due to the on screen display showing which satellite im logged on to and the signal strength, do other boxes have the easy graphics as well.
also i put the box under the front seat and use a "sky remote eye" to control the box, which plugs into the aerial co-ax socket, i suppose this will now be defunked, do any other boxes have a simillar feature, or are small enough to fit on the front windowsill, possibly only about 6 inches?
thanks for any coments
p.s. i'm probably looking for a cheap new one ,or a used one , theres loads of them on e-bay etc

thank you both for taking the time to reply, i thought they were all Freesat eboxes, did'nt realise, that Freesat was a brand name , i've just been down to Currys, they dont have any on display, just the sealed boxes, alarmed up, but the Freesat and a Manhatten one look quite small, which is just what i need to go on the front sill.
ill probably look on ebay and get a cheap one ,to see how the display is for setting the dish up.
thanks again

This seems abit amazing to me. Sorry I seem abit simple but we bought a 21 inch tele with built in free view, 20 quid and built in dvd player 8 years ago. We've been through sky box and sat dishes etc. Forget it. Go down a car boot and a tele with free view.
