    You need to visit www.freesatfromsky.com

    This is in the Q&Q section

    I already have digital satellite equipment - what else do I need?

    All you need to get access to the free channels available on the digital satellite platform is a freesat viewing card which costs just £20.

    If you already have the branded sky digital box and dish operational all you need is a £20 card.

    hi ben
    does that include if the sky box is an extra (additional) set?
    i have sky but want it in another room without paying extra but eith the channel changing options - does that make sense?

    Hi ruby6kids.

    I think you'll need a seperate card for an additional box.

    At my mums place, she has a full sky subscription for downstairs.
    I then had a second system installed upstairs, again with full subscription.
    I eventually cancelled my subscription and just watched the freeview stuff. My card is now a few years old and I can no longer get ITV, Channel 4 and lots of other channels. Mum's card will NOT work on my Sky box and never has.

    I guess I/we need an updated 'freeview' card from Sky (£20) as suggested above. Me though, I'm not going to bother as I use a PVR at my flat to tape stuff when I'm out.

    Rancid :)
