Sky Freeview - Can I Get E4?

fifitrix123

I have a normal Thomson box installed by sky for freeview purposes and I do not subscribe to sky but I am unable to get E4, does anyone know if I can do a scan or something to get it?
OR if I buy a new freeview box can I get it from my satellite dish?
I do have the box routed upstairs too and am able to change channels?
Thanks in advance for any help:beer:

I don't think you can get E4 'free' through a sky box as it's currently under one of their packages, you would need to buy a freeview box to see it.

I have FreeSat (works straight off your sky dish) and i get E4 so hope that helps

(when i had sky and finished the contract they turned E4 off!!)

If you get a freesat card from Sky you will get E4.

I know people who have Sky and they can't get E4 if they only have the basic package.

I have the basic Sky package it includes More4 and E4.
If you know people who can't then their equipment is at fault.
The freesat from Sky card is available for a one off £20 charge.
If you cancel your Sky subs then the card you already have reverts to freesat from Sky.

Oh fair enough, I'll let them know.

Hi,

I've just moved hous and cancelled my sky, it finished a few days before moving out and i couldn't get alot of the freeview channels. Sky block them as they are part of the mix and match packages. You can upgrade your card for a one off fee to receive them.

You are confusing Freeview (terrestrial aerial) and FreesatFromSky and "freesat" (BBC/ITV consortium).

However, I can confirm that E4 and More4 (and the "+1" versions) are broadcast "free to air" (FTA) via satellite and can be received on ANY digital satellite receiver without a viewing card.

If you can't then you have a fault.
