sky plus box

[tinkerbell2811]

hello all

i have been given a sky plus box, when i look on the sky web site at packages it seems to give me offers that have to include the box.

can u use the plus bit on the free view channels or does it have to have the sky card in

hope that makes sense.

do you just want to watch the freeview channels like BBC etc.. if so you need a freesat card from sky..

Q: I already have Sky digital satellite equipment - what else do I need?

A: All you need to gain access to the free channels available on the digital satellite platform is a Freesat from Sky viewing card, which costs just ?20. If you’d like to access the interactive services available, you’ll also need a working phone line. To purchase a viewing card please phone Sky on 08448 244 400.

you can then use your pause, rewind, record functions on all the free channels
