Convert 2nd Sky box to Freeview/Sat

Muran · 2014-10-21 21:20:52

Hi I am a Sky subscriber, I have Sky downstairs and have just cancelled Multiroom for upstairs (I have a second Sky Plus box upstairs). I want to convert the second box to Freeview/FreeSat. MR has been cancelled, but cannot see any Freeview/Sat channels. Box is blank. Not sure if having the MR/second box option has throws…

I have had freesat from sky for years - I pay £20 or thereabouts for 5 years so it is by far the cheapest option for me.

Great, you've got the best option for you. Where FSFS falls down most often, is that it doesn't allow recording, so people would have to pay out ~£10 per month. Do that for a year, and you might as well go with Freesat.
