Got sky with variety and knowledge packs.
We only watch the knowledge channels and stuff that is available on freeview, which is lumped into the sky variety pack. If I get rid of the variety pack, I assume I can still get the freeview stuff through the sky dish/box?
Thanks 🙂
We've just done something similar but be careful, what you get is freesat which is a little different from freeview. For example, we no longer get Dave.
No Dave? 🙁
How about more4?
Its only a quid so I was thinking of just swapping to another pack but maybe I wont bother.
Don't confuse Freesat with Sky freesat - it comes from a different satellite [albeit in the same(ish) orbital slot]

Thanks uplink 🙂
Sorry for the slight highjack, but now I've dropped down to Sky-Freeview and I don't want any PPV services, is there any reason to leave the phone line plugged into the sky box?
Or should I ask the question in a new thread?
no, you can unplug it.
it is only there to order movies.
