Freeview is only available through an aerial in the UK. But if you are close to Northern Ireland with a good aerial pointed at the transmitter - you may get it. You can also get freeview through a satellite from Sky but the setup cost is much higher. I think you can get a DIY kit though and get the same channels and a few more. One of those cheap supermarkets had DIY kits LIDL, I think.

I've found freeview reception problematic. Not all transponder clusters work well and you get only some channels well.
If you are looking for BBC, streaming it via the internet is a good option - thats restricted to UK IP addresses AFAIK.

I'm not sure you will get reception in Ireland - it's a UK service.
I think Freesat, a non-subscription service from Sky, would be an option - you just need to buy a box (see the link) - but I don't know if you can get it in Ireland.
