They have been told that they cannot erect aerials or sat dishes (although that is not in writing and the properties are freehold) - but the house is wired from all rooms to a common location in the loft, all terminated in B/L TV connectors. Fortunately they live within site of a relay TX so ordinary off-air signals do work even with an indoor aerial! Their problem is that EE do not carry all Freeview channels. On our friend's behalf (he is totally non-technical) I rang Sky who said that as BTOR carry EE and Sky, he could move to Sky very easily - as indeed he did. Sky provide a free telephone 'line' within this package on which they can receive calls, but if you don't have a call package, then to make calls? 27p/minute!!! Ergo the suggestion above of moving the landline phone number to a Voip provider (calls usually a few pence a minute if not even free) is sound. The Voip service will continue to work whoever is the main broadband provider. Next question on here is to ask for opinions on Voip providers!
