Sky freesat

ankspon

I'm moving to an apartment that is already set up for sky,i don't want monthly subscription channels and was wondering where the best deals are for a box and freesat card as the dish is already installed,thanks.

If you are going down the freesat route then you don't need a card, just a freesat box.

You can get a standard def box for under £50

Otherwise I would get a cheap Sky box from ebay or similar - you can get a lot of channels without any card in that as well

thanks,do i have to notify sky to switch it on or is it plug and play,sorry never had sky

juliescot

Just plug it in and if it is connected to the dish then away you go

I meant to ask do you know if the satellite point is enabled?

At the moment it is enabled as the people who live there use it.We are swapping homes

Has anybody recently bought a freesat or sky box,as i said i only want free channels and was wondering where the best deals could be found.

The cheapest way to get some satellite TV here is to goto gumtree/ eBay or a car boot sale and get a Sky box for under £10. This will get you a stack of channels without inserting the card. Next cheapest would be a proper Freesat box which would be around £50 for a standard definition reciever, up to £250 for a high definition with recorder. Or even more for the Panasonics. Take your pick...
