	Eve if the postcode isn't covered it still might work. Just get a box from asda or tesco and if it doesn't work take it back.

	Says on that link that 'digital changeover will be done by 2012' so I've got a couple of years to go, I thought it was 2008. £40-60 over 5 years is nothing really :)

	My gf has a TFT tv so that might be helping the picture quality. I read the instructions on the box and it said to connect 1 cable from the tv to the box, a different cable to connect the box to the tv, and connect the box to the ariel cable. Sounds a piece of piss really.

	The change over has started parts of wales has digital only think the whole switch over is going tobe done by 2012 Its a bit hit and miss with some of the cheap freeview boxes the frimware can be a bit iffy saying that i have a el-cheapo freeview box from asdas (£25) and that works fine but ya get what you pay for. My pioneer on was £120 quid 3 years ago and never had a problem with that either apart from the odd lock up You may also need a wideband digital aerial to recive all the channles if you havent got one already freeview has come a long way since the start . I had on-digital from when it started. in the next 18 months there will be HD freeview what is on test in parts of the uk and europe [Edited on 27-12-2006 by flash22]

	My gf got a free-to-view box for her tv that connects to the tv and the ariel on the roof to allow her to watch ALL the free-view channels. I was considering getting one based on some factors: They're cheap (sub-£40). I get very back signal on Channel 4 and 5 But, when is digital changeover? Shall I just wait and get a digital box for a bit more? Can these terrestrial boxes be upgraded to digital signal? :)
