I'm surprised by some of the comments here. The answer is - yes you can receive all of the main Freeview and Freeview HD channels through the internet, and perfectly legally at that. The first method is to use a Freeview Play box - HUmax, Panasonic etc - they are usually Recorders as well so are relatively expensive from 180.00 upwards. There is no monthly fee and it comes with the bonus of catch up through the Freeview Play system. The second way, and much cheaper way is to buy a NowTV Smart box. Although this is owned by Sky, and they really want you to buy Sky channel packages, it also provides all the Freeview Channels, plus Freeview HD plus catch up. plus it costs about 40.00

Hope this helps.

Re my post above. I'm afraid I have to admit to being completely wrong. Having now seen both of these devices, they all need an aerial in order to show Freeview. Apologies, I was led to believe they were delivering Freeview via broadband.
