sky+/ freeview

No you can't connect it through the sky dish. If you think about how it works you'd realise why - the sky dish points up at a satellite in orbit, whereas the Digital Terrestrial broadcasts are ground based antennas.

I have found sky to be being a bit cocky recently and "may" switch off your 'old' card EVEN from viewing free channels.

If they do then u have to sign up for Sky Freesat which is £20. They will send you a new card that guarantee's the free channels for 3 years

NB The freesat helpline is listed in the telephone number section on the sky box

Does anyone know if Sky+ with freesat (i.e. no subscription other than the monthly £10 for Sky+) is possible, at all? Thanks

Should be ok, but you will still need your Sky card to receive Freesat, and unfortunately it will not then record, once the full subscription ends.

I don't know much about the freeview boxes. Do they pick up many channels? Do they pick up any of the kids channels?

Yes it is. This is what I did over a year ago, you don't get all the freeview channels...E4 most notably, but you can use all the sky+ functions for £10 per month.

Hi, If you have a Sky+ box the Sky Freesat card will NOT work with it. It took me many telephone calls to Sky before some one at their end told me this. I sent the Freesat card back and had my £20.00 refunded.
