TV problems

[man of brass]

I have a subscription to "SKY TV" and I am finding it becoming expensive. If I cancel my subscription to "Sky", could I still recieve the "Freeview channels" through my dish?

I think if you cancel Sky they disable your card and you get no channels.

You can get something from Sky called FreeSat which is a card that gives you most of the free programs, but no monthly charge.

It is �150 if you do not have the dish or sky box, but if you already have them I think the card is only about �20.

Sorry, but I cancelled SKY a while back and you do get most of the freeview channels.

And as a bonus, after a couple of months they let me have the basic package for half price for 6 months - and after the 6 months expired and I cancelled again, they gave me another 6 months which expires in February)

I say most channels as you don't get (as an example) E4 or ABC1 which are freeview - you do get a few others though which aren't normal freeview.
