CardiffSupra Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Up The vallys we can't get freeview, Im thinking about getting sky but i dont watch enough tv to pay that much. Is there anything else i can get to have a few extra channles? Can i pay for the sky dish and box and not pay any monthly bills and just have the few extra chans? (BBC 3, chan 4, itv 123 etc) Cheers.

jamesmark Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I think you will need to buy the minimum subscription. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Can you get cable? Ntl or Telewest will give you free cable tv with about 40 channels if you change to their phone service. It's £11 a month for the phone which is cheaper than BT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Hmmm, I've still got my old sky box sat in one of the kids rooms, connected to a dish, and they get all the free to air channels.. I'll have to pull out the card and see if they stay on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I'm sure I saw a satellite freeview box and dish package the other day, I'll have a think to see if I can remember where. edit: I'm almost certain it was in our local B&Q Warehouse, a quick check online doesn't show anything though - sorry can't be of any more help. Someone on here works for Sky though (is it Daston) maybe he could help. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kghelmet Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 sky do a one off package for freeview for about £150 or if you already have a box you can buy a freeview card from sky for £15 and thats it no more to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to pull out the card and see if they stay on..Yep, they do. Tried it on mine a few months ago. However, If you've left an old Sky box out of commission for a year or two because you upped to Sky+ like my bro did, it won't work any more. Presumably there have been too many upgrades. I tried his old Sky box in my setup when mine was playing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
