    Evening all


    am hoping the clever ones on here can help lol I need to get rid of sky, I'm not tied into anything with them just pay a lot out each month and it has to stop. We currently have showbox app and that runs perfectly through the chromecast. I have also downloaded movietube and mobdro, however I can't get either of these to work, mobdro does connect to the chromecast but it cuts of every minute.


    I looked at getting some type of little square app box thing that just plugs in and is supposed to work straight away or whether I should get one of them recording boxes.


    If we do get rid of sky we will miss sky living and sky atlantic unless we can get then somewhere else


    hope that makes sense to someone!!


    not been out on a choc hunt as I never get away with anything :D

    You can use your Sky box as Freesat until they turn it off, often takes a fair while, you should get all the free stations but not sure. You can also get a Freesat box and plug it in instead of the Sky box.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    :) We have a Humax freesat box (purchased with our CC & boost) can record, pause, rewind, catch up, go back 1 week - it is better than when we had SKY - no monthly payments.

    Only thing missing are the SKY channels but I've watched Stella on Youtube

    Why would they turn it off? The Sky Plus bit and On Denand etc ends when your subscription ends as do any paid channels, but all free to air channels continue.

    My box still works for free channels despite ending Sky two years ago.

    If I remember rightly you have to leave the card in to get Channel 5 and a couple of the other channels - something to do with encryption but still free.
