Freeview is the Free To Air digital TV system in the UK and Northern Ireland run by the BBC and Sky.

It is accessed by purchasing a Freeview Set Top Box that is then connected to the TV and normal aerial socket for roof aerials. The roof aerial may have to be changed to a new version able to receive digital transmissions.

It can only received in Ireland if you happen to live in a part of the country that already receives spillover transmission, i.e. along the border and on the east cost.
