Hi there Vintage,

I'm thinking of cancelling my Sky TV/Broadband/Phone line too, and just keeping my Sky Box set up for TV. Does that mean you can still view all free view channels without a subscription?

Ideally I want to save costs, signing up with another provider for just phone and broadband, like yourself.

No you can only get Freeview channels via an aerial. Without a sub you will receive Freesat from Sky, giving you all the free to air channels.

And the six or so FTV channels.

Apart from the confusing use of technology wording, it is out of date regarding FTV.
