No, you won't, nor will you be able to receive them unless you subscribe to Sky as the channels are encrypted. Best bet is, if you are in a suitable reception area, to stick up an aerial and get them via analogue, or if you're lucky, the test on DTT. Or, if all of those fail... get Sky.

I love in a duplex...

I do not mind to use the aerials unless it is huge? Can I get RTE using small arials? Where can I get those from?

I love in a 3-bed semi !

Seeing your location is Kilcock, you should be able to pick up RTE and others using a standard compact antenna. Check out your neighbours houses to see what type of aerials they are using and in which direction they're pointing.
