    Freeview channels on the internet

    Just lost all of the BBC freeview channels on my satellite tv. Been offered a basic price of 150 euros (plus 60 euros to install BBC iplayer and ITV player) for a freeview internetbservice directly on my HD tv or PC via an andriod app (I believe). That sounds a reasonable price to me.Thoughts?

  5. Indoor aerials

    I have just bought a 22" HD tv for my room but I haven't got anyway of connecting it to the aerial outside or the Virgin box downstairs. Is it possible to buy a digital indoor aerial and connect it to a freeview box? Has anyone tried this and what was the result?

However, I need to connect Sky to a tv in the kitchen and running the cable will be quite time consuming under floorboards etc. Has anyone used these digital signal...

    Slingbox

    Anyone used this? Is it any good? Thinking of investing in one of this and a Freeview PVR to keep round my Dad's. Using his wi-fi connection and a broadband connection in Oz I'll then be able to watch UK TV when I'm over there (Aussie TV is awful). It looks fantastic, just a bit sceptical to...

    press the red button whilst on BBC 1 (if you have freeview, sky, digital cable etc) and select FA Cup goals they are playing on a continuous loop in alphabetical order. Annoyingly when I first put it on they were upto &quot;Burnham&quot; and then &quot;Burscough&quot; so I&#39;m waiting ages...
