Freeview in Coventry

Story location: Home / Blog / tv /
12/Mar/2006

We've been watching Invasion on Channel 4 and it's recently started to get interesting. After last weeks episode, Emma was impatient to see the next episode so we switched on our Freeview box and watched it on E4.

We'd been wanting to buy a Freeview box for a while, but the various digital TV websites all claim that the service isn't available in Coventry. In the last few months though, a lot of the supermarkets have started selling freeview boxes so we asked in Sainsburys and were told that they should work in most of the city. We bought it last month and most of the time we get a watchable signal. Even at the best of times, the signal strength is weak (due to the transmitter being too far away) and we can't receive all of the channels on offer, but it's better than nothing.
