freeview reception dublin

[jamandspoon]

Hallo,
Recently bought a LCD TV in Argos, set it up and found out that it's not mpeg 4 compliant so it's not much use for our local digital channels (have sound but no picture), it's Freeview enabled though. Does anybody know if it's possible to receive a Freeview signal via an external TV antennae in the Dublin area, maybe it's possible to pick up the Freeview signal from Wales ?
Thanks

I'd say that's a 'no' unless you've got a really big aerial and a good location...and...and...

Best & most reliable option is FreeSat.

thanks Technologist, that's too many ands for me... FreeSat seems a much better solution

Yes you can. Just take the viewing card out of the sky box.
