Can I use my digital freeview box abroad and receive English channals?

^{Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV 2nd October 2014 at 13:47}

No. You cannot receive signals from UK Freeview transmitters abroad. You box will be able to receive local "DVB-T" transmittions, if there are any.

You can use satellite equipment pointing at the Astra 2D satellite from some European countries however to get around 100 UK free-to-air channels.

shar: Only a set, or a BT Vision Box has the ability to decode MPEG4, which is used by some in France.

A "" tick UK TV will not have that ability, and will only provide the sound for such channels.

You can use a French set-top box with a digital TV, of course.

Hi. I currently live in Tenerife. They have recently updated the aerials on the complex I live on and we receive English through my tv. Does this mean I would be able to receive the same through a box?
