Julie: You are not in a Freeview reception area until switchover next year, so any DTT receivers will not provide channels until then.
Freesat works anywhere in the UK, you can just switch to Freesat as per the instructions at the top of the page.

marilyn: Bit hard to say without a full postcode, but you are probably using the Sandy Heath transmitter and if so you will have to wait until the ArqB multiplex goes to full power on 14th September 2011.

matt: Yes, but you will need to phone Sky and let them know you have changed boxes for the Sky Sports channels to work.

rebecca: Your rooftop aerial needs to point at the Sandy Heath transmitter, if it does you will receive all Freeview channels.

ken: Your aerial should be pointing at the Mendip transmitter, from where you can get all the services.
But, if you say your signal is blocked by trees, then your best option is to use Freesat, as detailed at the top of the page.

Az: The Alexandra Palace transmitter has no Freeview at all until Wednesday, 4th April 2012.
You are expected to get Freeview HD from Crystal Palace, but only until August 2011 due to external use of C31.
At switchover Crystal Palace will provide all channels including the Freeview HD ones.
I would suggest you look at Single frequency interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice with regard to C31.

Vikki: If you have lost BOTH your Sky and analogue TV, then the problem will be the connection between the "remote" TV and your Sky+ box - check the RF cable is connected to RF2 and is OK all the way along.
If you have Sky but no analogue then either you have not plugged your aerial into the "RF in" on the Sky box OR your region has switched off analogue.

Peter: It is not likley to be the "wrong aerial". Freeview HD, until switchover, comes from the Lichfield (Channel 5 analogue) transmitter and is provided on C34
at 4,000W.
