I have free view but the signal is very poor with less than half the channels coming through, I have a sat dish up but not connected to anything. is there a system I could connect this to for receiving free view?

If the satellite dish is digital (little) then you can plug any old sky digital box into it. Don't pay the subscription, and you'll get access to all the free channels. You can get them cheap on ebay/ car boot sales. If it is an analogue (big) dish, it won't do anything. Might as well take it off. Also, you could try a powered TV signal booster on your current aerial.

are you in UK?
Sky provide "freesat". cost approx £120 one off payment for dish & box installation.
Not exactly same channels as freeview, eg no C4extra, and community channel on 24/7.
freeview were talking about launching a similar service also called freesat to confuse the issue.
the strategy seems to confuse people with the technology and hope they don't notice that there is no longer any worthwhile content and their video recorders don't work and the picture quality is so poor you have to upgrade to HD to get back to what we had on analogue..

maybe your most cost effective answer would be to buy a digital Aerial and fix it up in your attic.
i had same problem now mine works great. only cost 15 pounds
