New TV - Suggestions please.

Want to cancel Sky but have free channels available.
I want to cancel my £21 per month Sky package. I was looking at Freeview etc but a friend said as I already have a Sky box and satellite dish I'd still be able to get quite a few channels on that after cancelling. Would I simply leave the Sky card in the box after cancellation? Someone else said I'd have to pay £25 for a…

Once we know and are all working toward an agreed…
Blocking iPlayer Live Streams
The BBC has recently started to add live iPlayer streams to some devices that previously only had Catch-up (and were therefore available to use without a TV Licence). My view is that this doesn't necessarily make the devices licenceable, but it creates more of a grey area than some people may be comfortable with. My…

I get a message saying there is no signal being received on those channels. All of my other Sky channels seem to be ok and I am reported as having good signal strength and quality.…
