[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 627589, member: 323322"] You will get all the Free To Air Channels with your Sky Box and no Card. You can buy a FreesatfromSky Card for £20 which will also give you Fiver, Five US and Sky Three: More importantly (perhaps!) it will give you back the correct BBC and ITV Regions on your EPG. If your existing Sky Viewing Card has been replaced with the new White ones, you are home and dry as this will continue to work as an FTV Card after your Sub expires. If it is a Yellow House Card, it [I]may[/I] work for a short while. The other Freesat is run by BBC/ITV (and others) and all it does is pull together Free To Air Channels (largely the same ones as "on Sky") in an EPG using dedicated Receivers. It was launched as an alternative to Sky and/or Freeview for those losing their Terrestrial Analogue TV under DSO, but has actually been quite successful in attracting other users. But as you already have Sky gear, there is no imperative for you to change. [/QUOTE]
