You can get a new sky box & card without subscribing to any of the packages, you can also get a Freeview box, which will work from the same satelite dish. I wouldn't buy a sky box off evil bay, could be any old rubbish that doesn't work properly. Relaw |

Re: Sky box
you now need a "free to Air" card in it I believe, I think they are about 25 quid one off fee.
your alternative is a freesat box, s/h should be < 50 quid now as the SD ones are only 60 odd quid new. |

Re: Sky box
Freesat is definitely the way forward, plus several of the free channels are already in HD. It will cost around £300 for a Freesat recorder and a dish to be installed but you'll be set up for years after that with no subscription charge. Don't buy a Thomson box though, very poorly made.
The only real difference with Sky is that you have even more channels that you don't want to watch and you'll be feathering the nest of the company that is gobbling up all the sports events and charging a fortune for people to watch them. |
