can i get freesat in flat sky dish ?

black_paw

i live in a flat with shared sky box ...i use the £20 card to receive sky programs only ......i was wondering ...

1, how much would it be to get basic sky+ and one package only , so i can watch some stuff and use the + ( no talk or broadband)

2, if i got a freesat box and plug it in the sky aerial hole would it work ? so i can watch and record stuff ? ( No digital signal via normal aerial )

1. Not sure £35ish p/m?
2. Yes freesat uses the same feeds as sky remember you will need two connections to be able to record a different channel than the one being viewed.

The minimum sub if you want a free box from Sky is £27.50 per month for 12 months (one entertainment package plus one Movis pack) and if you obtain the box elsewhere yourself (car boot, ebay etc) then you can have one entertainment pack at £19.50 per month.

Yes.

Both methods have limitations on recording one channel at a time or watching one without an additional feed being made available to your flat and that would be up to the management committe/landlord to arrange for you with the satellite installers contracted for your building (who may also be the one to talk to about a Sky install and should be able to offer the same deals as Sky direct).
