I live in Cable only block of flats which under law is having a giant digital ariel fitted to the roof.Sky will apparently be available thru this ariel.
I presume all Sky HD output will also be available?
Am I right?Cos Virgin HD is a disgrace.

What 'law' is being invoked to get an aerial installed? And what sort of aerial will it be? If it's a terrestrial aerial, you won't get any Sky subscription channels down it. You will just get whatever's on Freeview.

If it's a dish, then you can choose to get a Freesat or a Sky box to plug into it. The Sky box would obviously allow you to subscribe to whatever Sky channels you want.

The local council is replacing all old communal ariels with a digital version.The leaflet says talk to the fitter ref. Sky services I have just noticed so should be no prob HDwise ay?

You could be right ref Freeview though.Very vague.

Hmmm..'if' they put up a dish freesat would also be an option.
