    Absolutely not. You need a feed from a terrestrial aerial. A satellite dish will not work.

    FreeSat is available to you, if you really don't want to set up an aerial.. But it may not please you as well as YouView.

    That is Freetime not Yourtime. If you are not in the UK (as I suspect is the case) then a larger satellite dish than is normal may be needed.

    Yes, but wouldn't it spurn a non-UK IP address, like the Players do on various devices?

    In which case, you might get live broadcasts, but other than that, it would be like trying to run a YouView box with no Internet connection?
