Now winter has set in,(wet anddark) we are thinking of installing freeview. We have had Sky for years but expensive for what extra you get.
Has anyone some useful info or good contact on this subject ( no cowboys please).
I think my mum would be interested as well, she has a dish but no receiver.

you cant get freeview in portugal you may be able to get the portugeese equivilent
you could try free sat that would give you bbc1 2 c4 c5 itv 1 2 3 and a load of other channels this system uses the sky satelitte
it cost 150 in the uk with a viewing card and there is no subscription i could help if required steve

Suggest you talk to R J Technica on Rua do Farol. They can give you a number of options.
