FREEVIEW is only available in the UK it is a digital signal sent through the aerial network.

it is FREESAT you receive in Portugal via a satellite dish..

Don,t get confused and buy or get sold the wrong box.

The ITV region that you receive on the Sky EPG at 103 is determined by the address that Sky have for your equipment. Unlike BBC1 where 974 gives BBC1 London which is quite a strong signal there are no other ITV1 signals available on the EPG. You can however tune in other ITV regions on to Other Channels and manually select these. They vary in strength but West Yorkshire is very strong. The only problem for anyone with a SKY+ is that you cannot record to hard disk from the other channels setting.

Increasingly you need a good dish and a sensitive LNB to get good reception. I have no problems with my prime focus 1.4 dish. I had been looking to install a 1.8 dish but this has not proved to be necessary
