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.

Anita Ozola: I think you will have a difficulty in receiving UK TV with a 1 metre dish. Maybe with a 1.5 or 1.8, but suggest you check this with a local installer before proceeding.

I'm going to be moving overseas, and was wondering if my freesat box would connect to the tvs over there, not to watch channels but to watch my recorded stuff on there? If anyone knows the answer I would really appreciate it, thanks

I should have said my free view box, it's a bush bu11FVRSD series hardware - main board v1.1 software version a30-1b-0107. Al of that means nothing to me by the way, I have no idea about these things, all I was hoping to find out is if I take the box abroad to Africa or to the Caribbean whether I would be able to access the hard drive bit where I've recorded lots of films, if this can still be used in another country. I hope all that makes sense, thanks for listening and hopefully responding, regards,

I am in Northern Italy and have a satellite dish which receives Astra and Hotbird therefore Sky news and BBC world. I brought my Sky box and card from Uk but the message on TV says no telephone landline. How can I connect and receive signals from my dish without a landline
