Jacques Towbar & Leisure Services can supply and fit an omni-directional TV aerial a relatively cheap and effective way of viewing TV but to receive digital programmes you will need a set-top box. Outside of the UK and in more remote areas aerial signals are weak or non-existent and you will need a satellite dish and receiver. With a Freesat disc and set-top box the programme options are huge, but should you want to receive Sky and other payment channels then you will need the relevant set top box and viewing card.
