I don't live in Vidlin but have just got rid of Sky. I use Freeview but can't receive HD when there is an easterly wind. I bought a Humax recorder box that has Freeview play (which you will get on all new SMART tvs) and I can watch all the major channels on the tv through the internet when I want, with no need for an ariel. You can also sign up for Netflixs etc through this. The only thing I miss out on are films, not many of them appear on the Freeview play channels (bbc iplayer, itv hub, stv, Channel 4, you play etc). I am not missing Sky though unsubscribing, even though I didn't have a contract, and it didn't work was a nightmare!
