A Freeview box cannot be converted to Freesat and visa-versa, different beasts.

As stated conversion from FreeView to Freesat is out out the question, is it not possible to receive Freeview from Rowridge or one of it's relays at Brightstone, Ventor, Luccombe or Brading?

To state the obvious; has he tried retuning it?

The whole of IW is covered by Rowridge and its repeaters unless he lives at the very foot of a south facing cliff out in the sticks.

is it not possible to receive Freeview from Rowridge or one of it's relays at Brightstone, Ventor, Luccombe or Brading?

Bearing in mind that the relays are vertically polarised and fill in the blind spots caused by the hills around IW especially to the south of the island.
