We live in an area where Prime TV is available over UHF but we have no aerial on the house at all - we watch tv through a FreeView box attached to a Sky dish on the roof.
I rang and asked for Prime to install a UHF aerial so we can watch Prime TV (and other non-Freeview channels available on UHF in Nelson). I also want to pre-emt any Freeview-HD coming to the Nelson region by having a UHF aerial ready (although that might never happen). Having a Freeview digibox already I didn't want another one just for one channel taking up a socket and a TV input.
I got a call from Sky tv about my pending install and they say even for me to have Prime through a UHF aerial I will also need a digibox to watch it. Is this true??? I can get a snowy picture using rabbit ears sat on top of the TV and tuned in on the TVs tuner. No matter how many times I explained I can get an almost-decent picture already without a digibox she insisted I would definitely need another digibox if they installed a UHF aerial.
If Prime/Sky install a UHF aerial do they add something to the set up to prevent any other channels being viewed and forcing you to use a digibox even on UHF?
