Freesat Question

[jimlan]

Hi guys, dont know anything about sat, but we have just had a new ariel system put in our flats, and you can get freesat, and sky, but instead of this, is there any other boxes that would work on this feed, without subscription?, hope this makes sence.

thanks in advance

Freesat doesn't require a subscription!

But yes you could use any generic/FTA satellite receiver to receive the free channels from Astra2/EB1 (the satellites used by channels on Sky & Freesat)

you would be better getting an HD freesat box as they have the full epg.

Yep, i agree, if you want a full EPG then a Freesat box is the way to go
