Sky+ box

therevelator

Hi,

I currently have a basic sky tv, internet, phone bundle.

I was planning on downgrading to internet and phone only, and getting a freesat card to put inside my current sky box(non-HD, non Sky+).

I have been given a Sky+ box (non-HD I think).

So, will I be able to use the Sky+ function with the freesat, or do I have to be subscribed to Sky TV? Does it cost to have the Sky+ function enabled - how much?

Thx in advance and Merry Xmas.:beer:

Your existing card will revert to free-to-air channels if you cancel so you DO NOT need a freesat card & to keep the record/play ext,it'll cost you £10 a month to keep it active.

Are you sure? News to me if it's true. Do you mean it'll revert to freeview or freesat?

£10/month to keep Sky+ ain't worth it - oh well.

BTW moderator, just realised this should be in the Digital TV forum.

Yup I'm sure for two reasons..

1-I used to work for Sky
2-I use my old Sky box with existing card as a FTA reciever in the spare bedroom

If you plan to use the Sky+ as a normal Sky box then,best bet then would be to disable one of the feeds.

Neither, it will revert to FreesatfromSky, which is different from Freesat and Freeview.
