Thank you for the replies.
I admit to being confused by the 'yes you can get Freeview on the Internet', 'no you can't' exchange.
Point the aerial somewhere else? Advised not to do so by Arqiva; just retune from time to time as they rejigged the relay stations. When they switch the new mast on in a few days, I'll have to retune and see if I'm in a 'notspot'. Then I'll start to look at Freesat. www.arqiva.com/news-views/news/update-on-incident-at-bilsdale-mast . I'm pretty sure I'll be in a notspot because the aerial we have needs an amplifier.
The Manhattan box went back to Currys and I swapped it for a Firestick. 'Can I get Freeview on this?', 'Yes you can', said the techie.
Turns out that I can't. I can get an Australian Freeview app but ...
I'll be investigating Freesat if the switch-on in a few days doesn't give me a signal. I'm assuming I'll have to fight for a dish as we're in a Conservation Area.
