Hi, I've reciently left sky and am having ti use the skybox as my digital reciever - that's all fine but there are loads of channels i cant get because sky have blocked them for example DAVE and Watch.
Trouble is I don't have an arial on the roof and reception is awful in my area anyway. So I'm looking for a new freeview box that I can plugin the sky connectors too - does one exist?
Thanks

Sky is a satellite service, Freeview is terrestial. No connection.
Watch is a subscription channel on both Sky and Virgin. Dave is available on Freeview channel 19, but you'll need an aerial.No free lunch, and no free laptop

Not correct, Dave 1 and 2 can be received on a Freeview Receiver via a suitable aerial.
Watch is only available via subscription.0
