bladebeer Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 We are considering getting rid of Sky tv and have been told that freesat is a good alternative.Does anyone know of a good supplier who would fit it for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iansheff Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 You can buy a card form Sky to use in your box for a one off fee, not sure of the price but will be on SKy site. However the box will not record so maybe just get a Freesat box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyTapp Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 We just use the sky box ,unplug the internet cable and don't pay sky anything ,you get freesat that why simple no cost no buying extra bits as it's already there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WasThatWise Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 The freesat boxes do not need a card so if you are going to get one don't get a Sky freesat card (like what I did!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mps32 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 You can just buy a freesat box and use the same sky dish and cables. Or you can use your sky box but it is a pain as you can't view most of the channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Yea the sky dish and cables are just normal kit, nothing specific to Sky so will work fine with a FreeSat box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
