    Cheaper Alternative to SKY

    HI,

    At the moment we have SKY tv as many of us in the UK,

    But im fed up of paying the monthly fee for it and half the time theres **** all on it anyway.

    So im just wondering what else i can buy that doesnt require monthly fee's

    Unfortunatly i cant get virgin media in my area at the moment is it just freeview through an aerial im left with?

    Or are there other options?

    Thanks

    There's also freesat, which will work on your sky dish, or you could get a motorised sat system and access other satellites, have a look around in the sat forums m8

      Not being able to get VM doesn't make any difference as they charge.
      All VM hacks will be gone soon.
      Freeview/freesat is a decent alternative if you don't watch much.

            Remember what terrestrial tuner you will want before buying certain combo boxes.
