i want channel 4 hd with sky and no subscription!, cheap as possible

hi, now that channel 4 have announced thier new hd channel on the sky web site ( http://sky.com/hd/ ) it says its is available without any subscriptions, sky hd box and viewing card needed!
so being a total non sky customer how can i get this service for as cheap as possible?
could i get the standard sky installed (the one same as freeview with no subscription required), then buy a sky hd box from ebay?
would i need to buy a sky viewing card too from ebay too?

thanks

  • A sky Dish and LNB installed is around £75, then you would need to buy a HD box off Ebay usaually around £250.

    Oh an im pretty sure that you will need a FREESAT card installed in the box these cost £25 ish from either SKY or your local Sat/Aerial installer ;)
