    another note is that a sky box is your property after the 12 month contract, if you can find a boot sale or similar try buy a sky box with a dish and go to your local tv repair shop they will advise you where to get a FREESAT card not sure of the exact channels but more than freeview. I got freeview because ntl wouldnt change my package " new customers only sir" so i told them to cancel because they were charging £24 a month for base pack but were advertising 3 for £30 ....... new customers only sir ... thanks now they dont get my money :-)
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.

    If you cancel your NTL subscription, they'll leave the box behind, and you'll still be able to watch the freeview channels through it! It works just like a freeview box once you've cancelled your account, so there is no need to buy a new one ;)

    I cancelled mine after atrocious service...(it didn't work for three months) then they sent someone round to pick up the box or they would charge me £150!!!!!
