So moved into new house, plugged tv into wall with normal co-axel aerial and the tv (2 years old) automatically set itself up and went through tuning the channels. It only found 7 and they were really odd ones.
Previous owners obviously had sat tv as the satalite dish is up there and there is no aerial on the roof or in the attic.
So my question is, is there a way I can get normal free view through the satelite dish with out having to pay monthly sky subscriptions?
what options do I have?
Many thanks
Dave
freesat. 🙂
free sat - we had it in our old place ...
carboot sale or scot adds - find your self an old sky digital set top box and get your self a freeesat card from sky for 20quid
As said - freesat. You can get a freesat HD box for just over £100 now, and get the BBC and ITV high-def channels free.
The channels you get are listed here: http://www.freesat.co.uk/index.php?page=whatson.Main&PHPSESSID=u8irb58fdeu1bkpjqftnp45as4
Here you go
just throw the dish away if you don't need it
Awesome - thank you.
so i need ot buy a free sat box from a shop. where do i get the sky card from then? Or does it all come together when i buy the box?
where do i get the sky card from then?
not needed for freesat
so then - just the box. awesome, will go get one tonight.
many thanks

Be aware that the boxes put out a current [12-18V]
To avoid popping a fuse or resistor, Make sure that you don't have a short on the connector & that you do not power the box up before you connect the dish feed

Freesat - google it.
So you either have Freesat / Freesat HD for which you need to buy a box or Free to Air on Sky which requires and old SKy box and you then need to ask sky for your free card.
