Not interested in Kodi etc.but i'm looking to put a spare tv in the conservatory and there is no tv aerial etc near it

Search for those things that advertise free Sky, basically what they do.

I have an HDHomeRun which allows me to get Freeview through my Apple TV across our home network, works on other platforms too.

We currently run a couple of TVs off Firesticks (one also has a co-ax cable connection for freeview).
What alternatives are there to the Firestick or are they the best option?



My wife spent an age trying to get a TV working on a co-ax cable from a socket on the wall in the bedroom of the house we bought last year.
I took the faceplate off the socket a couple of days ago - no cable to it. It's never been wired up for the last 20 years.....

Goes along with the Sky Dish outside, with cables from it to the sockets on the wall in the living room which don't work either....
