The Sky Sports channels are not available on Freeview. ESPN is offered as a premium channel on Freeview but as part of the TopUp TV subscription service.
One can sign up for Sky Sports HD at a local television provider. To sign up for Sky Sports HD one must have an HD television and a Sky Sports user account.
It may be a HD TV with Standard Freeview built in. Standard Freeview does not automatically contain any of the HD channels as it is not a HD service. However, you would get HD channels such as BBC HD and ITV HD if your TV had Freeview HD built in. So, my recommendation would be to buy a Freeview HD box. Remember to check on the Freeview HD website to find out when the service is rolling out in your area, as the service is actually brand new. My postcode doesn't receive this signal until June 2011, so be careful. The service at the moment is very limited.
The installer uses an HDMI cable to plug the Freeview HD box into the television. If the user has an older television, new tvs are available for purchase with Freeview HD already built in.

Freeview HD is available all over the UK. It is available to anyone who has purchased the necessary receiver. All households in the UK are able to receive standard Freeview.
The advantages of the Sony Freeview HD TV is quite large. They are the first TV to offer the Freeview HD service. It is also possible to connect to household wi-fi and watch video and movies from the internet.
Your freeview box should connect to the TV Ariel on the top of your house. The Sky + cables connect to the Sky dish on the side of your house and will not work with your freeview box. If you have Sky there is nothing on freeview that you can not already get on Sky (even if you do not have a sky card).
