Depending on what part of Lewes you live in. I get it in Malling but need a huge aerial that can pick up the Heathfield transmitter.If yours points to Newhaven you wont get it.

You're doomed to be swallowed up by plastic tables and chairs from that nice little greengrocers at the foot of Cliffe Bridge.
Dunno about free view...

I live in Nevill crescent. Does anyone know if you can recieve it here? I just don't want to have to splash out on a new aerial.

Sky is a rip off and involves giving money to Rupert Murdoch and my main reason for wanting freeview is better reception. I don't care about having hundreds of rubbish extra channels.

If you want better reception best leave the freeview alone then, as the reception locally seems to be worse than analogue

Guarantee you have the wrong aerial. It has to be a flat one and pointing to Heathfield to work freeview

It may be helpful to know that you can get the freeview channels with a satellite dish and box, but with no subscription payments to Mr Murdoch's pocket. I found this out from our MP as I kept writing to complain about appalling reception in Kingston.
