Moving to a house that has a sky dish, but I don't want to subscribe, so will I get any free channels via an old skybox? (Dish has twin leads for sky+)

I believe you can get most of what's on Freeview.

You need to get a [s](free)[/s] card for the box. Not sure where these are from.

{Edit} See below

You need to buy a Freesat card which is £25 - I recall that I just phoned them up and sorted it there and then.

We have Freesat in our bedroom (it just takes a third feed from our satellite dish, the other two feeds being for the totally unconnected Sky+ account downstairs).

It works fine.
