[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 534639, member: 256551"] A Sky box without a card, or an ordinary digital satellite would pick up the same channels, with the exception of ch4 possibly, the Sky box may not get it without a card, but manual tuning should be possible. You would also get the same channels with a Freesat box, the advantage is you get a proper EPG. One problem with using a Sky box, is that you need to make sure you have access to one of the default transponders (don't know what they are, as I hardly use a Sky box as I hate the the EPG for FTA use) Here is a list of all the channels on 28E, the FTA ones have an ref F in column 5. [url]http://www.lyngsat.com/28east.html[/url] All the information you need is there, we can't choose for you.:) Although, one thing that surprises me, is that they are making you choose either horizontal or vertical in the first place, with the correct infrastructure and multiswitch, it is just not necessary.
