Freesat in Apartment Block

Hi, wondering if anyone can clarify the following for me. I have very little technical understanding, so bear with me please!
I live in a modern apartment block which had a communal dish already installed when we moved in. There were also four aerial points in the living room (SAT1, SAT2, TV and FM/DAB). When we moved in we took a subscription with Sky and they gave us a box and installed everything. We still subscribe to Sky (about £20 a month inc broadband) but i really dont watch much, and have decided i would rather save £240 a year!
The TV is a fairly old analogue thing which doesnt receive freeview.
Am i right in thinking that if i cancel my Sky package, i still get to keep the box and viewing card and still get all the channels listed here? http://www.freesat.co.uk/index.php?page=whatson.Main
If so, that looks fine to me!

That page is the BBC/ITV freesat EPG list and is different to the FreesatFromSky (FSFS) list here http://www.sky.com/shop/freesat/home/what-can-i-watch/
This includes all the channels in your list plus many more plus with your cancelled subscription card you will get the channels listed for the FSFS card here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freesat_from_Sky.0
