Folks,

just wondering is this possible?

CAn you get Setanta on a Freesat HD system?

(i only stick with sky for the soccer and i hate all their other channels and hate paying for something i never use. )

Satellite is only available using a sky box. Freesat boxes by their very nature do not accept viewing cards

I think i just had a brainwave,

perhaps if i drop sky but keep the box hooked up and then just subscribe to Setanta. Silly me. And if i wnat to get free BBC HD i presume i can just link up an additional new Freesat HD box onto my existing skybox?

No you need at least one more cable from your dish and possibly a quad lnb if you do not already have one

Thanks Tony shor that should be not too much of a big deal to throw up.

Its currently a sky plus system and currently hooked to two skyplus boxes i.e. sky multiroom (or multi rip off):mad:

Then no cable needed for freesat just use one of the existing feeds
