Freeview/Freesat without an Aerial

[PuG106]

Hi all, I’m looking for a bit of advice....

I want to cancel my virgin media tv package and just keep my broadband.

The main reasons if any is interested are:

1) Just had a 2nd child and @ £60 a month for 2 boxes (old Hd box + TiVo) with mid range package it’s too expensive + constant price hikes.

2) We barely watch any of the channels we subscribe to and are no way getting our monies worth.

So my question is, is there a freeview or freesat box that does not require an aerial or satellite dish that runs over broadband that can watch and record live tv?

My aerial on the roof is broken so before I go down the route of getting it sorted if I can get a box that can record live tv but by only being connected to the internet that would be perfect...

I’ve done a bit of searching but it doesn’t appear to exist.

My only other option would be to install a TVCatchup app on my smart tv unless any of you guys have any ideas?

Cheers

Thanks for the reply lucid I thought as much but If there is anything available OCUK is the best place to find out...

Guess I’ll get a quote on how much it is to get my aerial fixed or see what virgin can offer...

I called virgin and told them I wanted to cancel the lot. After the old “let me speak to my manager” I got the same BB package I was already on (50mb) minimum tv for £36 a month so I’ll take that.

I was going to install TVCatchup up on my Nvidea sheild but can’t find it on the App Store.

MoRT489 I’d not thought of one of those I’ll bear that in mind if I need one in the future. Thanks for your replies all.
