Freeview or Freesat?



Hi guys!!!!!!!!!!!!

God, I ain't been here for months! Been caught up with doing my
family tree. Taken up all me time.

Anyway, A friend of a friend wants Freeview. They live in a slightly
fringe area (a place called Wymington in very north Bedfordshire).
The roofs aerials are ancient & don't give a single blip of a Freeview
signal. I tried using a cheapo wideband in the loft & got a signal on
some muxs & not others. The roof ain't easy to get to (not
impossible, just not easy). She has a Sky dish on the house but no
Sky box (it was there when she moved in a few weeks ago). She can't
afford a Sky subscription, which is why she wanted Freeview. Now, the
question is, is it worth climbing the roof to replace the ageing
aerials or go for Freesat? Would a sat box off ebay work ok? Are all
the main channels in the clear? Advice would be appreciated.
