Can I use my digital freeview box abroad and receive English channals?
Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV 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.

forward: You won't be able to receive any European satellites in Southeast Asia. You would probably save yourself a lot of time and trouble sourcing equipment and installation over there.

Gary: 1) Only cards with Sky Sports need to be "paired".
2) If you want;
3) Yes, and yes.

Hello,
would my sky+Hd box work in Tenerife?
We have a 3 metre dish on our complex which allows us to get limited Sky channels in the apartment.
Would my own box work either as a freeview box or, if I kept my subscription running in the UK, as a sky box?
Thanks

Jayne Ashworth: A Freeview box will only show UK channels in the UK. You can use Freesat from Greece, but you may need a massive (2.5 or 3 meter) dish to be able to watch all the channels with it.

I have a sky dish but I am no longer subscribed to sky and my home in UK does not get good aerial reception. I would like to be able to watch a good selection of French TV channels from the UK. How can I do this?
