Cancelled Sky, but not getting all freeview channels

I have cancelled Sky, but I am not getting all freeview channels, I thought a Sky+ box became a freeview box if Sky was cancelled?

    These are the freesat from sky channels, which I imagine would be the same as that you should receive with a cancelled sub.

  • The line up for Freeview and FreesatFromSky are slightly different.

    Freeview is a terrestial service, Freesat from Sky is a satellite service. Similar but not identical line up.

    If you just cancalled sky then you won't get "Five", "Five USA" or "Fiver". You need to get the "Freesat from sky" card, It costs £20 from sky.

    Also ths "+" function will probably stop in a few days and reduce to just a normal sky box (to get the PVR features costs £10 month subscription from sky.)
