Are they not available over there, or am I missing something?
A digital Freeview box in the UK costs around Ł30 for a basic model, or we can buy a subscription service like NTL, Telewest, Virgin or Sky which will provide their own box, satellite dish or whatever they use, so the services can be used with almost any TV set, analog or digital.
Having a digital TV here just means you have one or more Freeview tuners built in, rather than an external box.
