stevie_b Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Just thinking out loud for now: I have a satellite dish and cabling etc all set up, the only thing I don't have is a subscription to Sky for anything (and that's the way I want to keep it). Would any of these boxes allow me to watch a subset of Sky channels without paying a subscription? I know that any free offering wouldn't include "premium" channels such as Sky1 or any movie channels: I'm happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty71 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Yes but you need to buy a free to air card off sky for some channels like 5 etc its about 20 pounds one off fee for the viewing card link here matey http://www.sky.com/shop/tv/free-to-air-channels?affiliate=true scottmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With just a box you will still get over 250 free channels but as Scott has said below you will miss some unless you get that card.

If you only have a standard box you'll more then likely only have a single feed. In which case you'll need another cable run & the LNB changed (part at the end of the dish arm) over to a quad rather then the single you may already have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
