Well thank you all.... I feel a little bit wiser now. What you said VHG: "Not true, I have got Sky and have not got an aerial."
Someone else had told me that if you had Sky, you wouldn't need an aerial but as the aerial is plugged into the Sky Box at the moment (TV in my lounge), I just assumed it would still have to be so.
Re: Freeview Boxes - I have one attached to my TV in the Dining Room (which isn't connected to Sky) but it doesn't half play up!! It's about the third one I've had and I don't seem to have a lot of luck with them. They always seem to have a mind of their own - nearly every time I switch on, I have to pull the plug out because the picture is frozen and then plug it back in, then wait for it to re-set. The first two were really cheap ones, so bought a slightly better one this time with live pause/record etc but it still plays up - is this something we just have to live with, with Freeview? Also, the picture & sound seem to jump a lot when watching Freeview......
