How do you receive your TV?

Do you still use the traditional rooftop aerial? Or perhaps you've got SKY. Or maybe you use Freeview or Freesat. I gave up on Sky some years ago because I was paying almost £60 per week to watch the same old programmes repeated over and over again. With the basic box which most people had. I couldn't record or save anything and had to pay extra for certain channels and ALL HD channels! I now have Freesat. No fees. Over 200 channels including HD. And with my particular receiver box, I can record 2 channels simultaneously whilst watching a 3rd!

Actually. I made an error in my initial post. It was £60 per month not per week.

I knocked up a satellite dish from a dustbin lid and some gadgetry from a chap known as 'Wee Jimmy' who can by-pass the need to pay a fortune to Sky each month.
