Re: Terrestrial TV

If you can't put an aerial up, then you can't add Freeview to your set-up. Freeview really does need a good rooftop aerial, unless you happen to live right underneath your local transmitter.

The closest you would get is to buy two cheap Freesat boxes and connect them to the two spare terminals on your Sky dish's LNB.

Not really. Once you've bought the FSFS card, you still need to buy a Sky-branded box to put it in. Then every time you fancy channel hopping up or down, you have to go via a pile of channels that show you the 'upgrade' nag screen.

Personally, I don't think it's worth the cost and inconvenience just for a couple of channels nobody watches. Although having said that, Fiver and FiveUS will inevitably land up on Freesat sooner or later.
