Get Sky. I've got both, Freeview and Sky, in different locations and Sky comprehensively wipes the floor with Freeview. Even if you get Sky with the minimum subscription (no Sport/Movies), there are so many more advantages: solid signal, extensive TV-guide, automatic programming of the set top box (for video recording), much more comprehensive interactivity (Sky News Active has to be seen to be believed), even the time it takes to switch channels is ages on Freeview but lightening on Sky.
And, for £18.50/month, you get all this:
