Evening all,
I'll be starting to holiday let a flat soon, in Kendal, Cumbria.
I intend to install a TV/DVD combo and I'd like to know whether a Freeview signal is acceptable to guests. The alternative is adding a Sky box with, say, the Variety Package but this seems costly.
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.
Many thanks,
DB-H

Dear davhill,
We have just installed the Italian equivalent of Freeview in our main family villa in Trapani, Sicily. We opted to not install Sky Italia but added a dvd /divx player and an ever increasing range of dvd films and cartoons for guests to make use of, along with boardgames, decks of cards, instructions and several paperbacks and guidebooks etc.
Personally, for me, great holiday memories come from doing different things on holiday. Boardgames are a great source of family and group entertainment that are often overlooked at home in normal life - so don't underestimate the importance of a few non-electronic pasttimes instead of Sky.
Check out this other thread which is in a similar vein:

I think your guests will be happy with freeview, but do check the Digital signal coverage in Kendal/the Lakes first on

Good luck
