    i believe that you can still use it to watch some channels however Sky will charge £20 for a 'freesat from sky card' which allows more channels - http://www.freesatfromsky.co.uk/faqs-freesat.aspx

    however your recording ability will be blocked either way as for some reason they call it a 'service' and not a feature of the box - or at least that is what i have been told when i enquired about it

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    No you will not be able to use the record facility, but YES you will be able to watch some digital channels, if you have a white Sky Card that will act as Freesatfromsky card once you have cancelled.

    You can pay £10/ month to have the record facility.
