    not necessairly. Theres no 100% foolproof way of even knowing for sure until you try but unless your reception of the UK terrestrials is 100% perfect the answer is probably no

    Unlikely. I live in south county down and can't receive freeview. It seems to work in certain zones only. It's very unlikelyyou'd ever be able to receive freeview unless you live right on the border

    I guess you're receiving your signals from a "deflector" so the answer is a positive NO (since they receive their channels from satellite)!

    Umm quite a few people in Cavan, Wexford even County Sligo have managed it but as you say a lot of places in NI cant get it at all

    most of Jordanstown/Whiteabbey (Belfast) cant get freeview and Divis is less than ten miles away :(
