Sky freesat One-off payment!

Sometimes ago, argos used to sell skybox for 75 pounds. It is a one-off payment with no subscription. Is there any similar ones anywhere?

Cheers

    Do it yourself. The dish only needs to be high enough to see the satellite. Quite often ground level will do. A used Sky Digibox can be picked up for a tenner. A FreesatFromSky card costs £20.

    I installed my own Sky freesat system for £40. Bought the bits from eBay. Although aligning the dish to the satellite isn't so easy if you don't know what you're doing, a cheap and effective satellite finder from eBay will make the job easier.
