You could always freesat if you _really_ cant freeview - like you, our post
code didn't check out, we were told we has no reception at all, but we
still get 75% of the freeview channels - no TMF or shopping channels ...
woopie f'#king doo ;-)
Before I discovered that, I grabbed a satellite dish and box off of free
cycle and bought a card for a tenner of off ebay, and bob's your uncle
instant [1] freesat.
FWIW Sky will do you a legit card for 20 quid, (or a complete set up for
150) but they also hound you to upgrade, in my experience.

[1] Well I say instant, add a good two hours for swearing at the dish whilst
you got it aligned.

With the tour being broadcast on ITV4 this year, I thought I might
grab a box and see if I can get reception. The web says that my
postcode (BS6 7BB) doesn't. Anyone know if the area down near Zetland
road is a total loss or if it is worth trying?
