Free Sky Channels

[philbolton]

Ive just moved into a place that has a sky box, 'i know' i thought 'ill buy a sky box and just watch the free channels' being the pike i am!

Got a box off ebay and plugged it in, you do get a lot of rubbish channels but i thought you would get the main ones,

Big Problem CANT GET CHANNEL 4, how do i overcome this without subscribing?

You still need a freeview card.

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.

With out a freeview card you get about 60 channels, I don't see why you dont have channel 4 my tv is setup the same and we get channel 4.

Hmm £20 just for channel 4, think i might look into subscribing

even with Freesat you don't get E4 as its part of the entertainment packages and even though you can get it free from Freeview you can't get E4 free from Sky, have to subscribe to it which IMO is daylight robbery.
