As PM'd to you (but for the benefit of others who may be interested)

Its not a Freeview box, but a Freesat box you will need to get and this will allow you to receive all FREE TO AIR satellite channels.
Connect the box to the sat dish and then to the TV, switch on and the box will scan and download all channels availiable. Job done. We use Freesat rather than pay a subscription to Sky and find the service excellent.

Just checked for you and Argos do standard definition (SD) Freesat box's
Bush BFSAT01SD £49
Grundig GUFSAT01 £58

Or they do a Hi-Def Freesat box from Bush for £95 although if I were you and I was getting a Hi-Def box I would spend a little more and get a Humax HD receiver which come in at around £130. We have 2 of these (front room and bedroom) and we are totally impressed as to how well they perform.
