Long story short
We had a HD box that failed
I've been given an old non-HD box and the EPG says "phone 0844"
Does that mean I need to upgrade the box or my subscription

But, that's freesat as opposed to 'freesat from sky'

You won't get HD on a non HD box.

Is Quest a channel you can watch ?


If Quest HD is a free to view channel then yes you should be able to get it as stated here.


Another option is to ask Quest (might get a better reply if you ask Sky) on Twitter if they are on Freesat from Sky.

I am aware of that
Shall I 'invest' in an HD box to get quest HD?
If it's not available then I will keep my moths in my wallet!!

We watch the football highlights on SD on freeview, but can't get it in HD this way so, that's why I'm wondering if I could get it through my free sky.

You can get then free or very low cost, try Freecycle. Though you wont get a recording faclity. If you want that get a Freesat PVR instead.

It's free though Freeview with a Freeview HD box or TV and Freesat with a Freesat HD box or TV, so should be on suitable Sky HD box.


Freeview: Channel 12; Channel 76 (+1); Channel 114 (HD)

Sky: Channel 144 (SD/HD); Channel 244 (+1); Channel 831 (SD)

Freesat: Channel 167 (SD/HD); Channel 168 (+1); Channel 172 (SD)

The 'subscription' of £0 that I 'pay' after buying the card about 10 (?) years ago

Thanks - I was just concerned that Quest HD may only be available to people who pay for Sky

Ebay is usually my 'shop' of choice, but will investigate Freecycle, thanks

There is a full list of Free-To-Air satellite channels here;

That card was never required in order to receive the Free-To-Air channels, all it provides you personally is your local BBC, ITV and CH4 regional variants based on your postcode

Freecycle is just stuff that would otherwise be going in the bin, given away for nothing. It's not a shop.
