    The freesat channels are listed at here

    The freeview channels are listed here

    As others have posted, I think you get freesat from Sky automatically when you cancel the subscription. Only time I lost mine was when Sky upgraded their cards and that doesn't happen very often.

    By the way, loft aerial is ok for me too for freeview, but whether reception is ok is down to how good the reception in your area is. I have a fairly uninterrupted sight to the transmitter but if youre in a built up area or behind a hill you may need a better quality aerial or an external one.

    If you want to get the correct ITV and BBC regions you will have to call Sky and submit your postcode.

    To be mildly pedantic, you get all of the BBC and ITV regions. Phoning up Sky just puts your local stations in the right place on the menu.

    To be even more pedantic you can only get the ITV regions if you use the 'Add Channels' feature as they no longer appear on the EPG!

    I have the full Sky package (courteousy of 1/2 price deal ) at home and a freesat package in our caravan, does anyone know if the Sky cards are interchangeable with the different boxes. ie sky+ box at home, normal sky box in van. or do i have to take the box and card to the caravan to view full package.
    Thanks all.

    If you put your main viewing card in your other Sky box you will get all the channels you subscribe to EXCEPT premium channels ie Sky Sports and Sky Movies.
