Hi
You should be able to get TV as long as your area has not switched off the Analogue TV transmitters. If they are off you will need to source a freeview adaptor or change your radio for one of the type Radioguy advertises on the forum. Lots of information if you search the forum.
I have watched TV sitting on the dockside in Calais whilst waiting for a ferry home!
Good Luck

Thanks for the reply. Im in south devon and they have been turned off,digital only around here. I will have to get this sorted as have to wait for the wife often to finish work so would be nice to watch the old box.

Go on ebay, and get a freeview box....about £35 or so.....have a search as a few members have done it.

I have just purchased a free view box and connected it to my portable tv to test it and it works a treat. The west mids will be the last analog to be turned off.However Im still undecided

Do i fit the free view to the hi line or fit a new dd unit.

I would buy a dd if I could afford one. But the adapter will have to do for now
