    Hi, currently only have terrestrial channels and I am considering ordering Sky, Sky+ box is costing the same but can I use it after the year is up for getting the free channels?

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks

    Yes, but it won't record/replay.

    Thanks watty, so it seems like I might as well go for the Sky+ box rather than the regular box?

    Yes you'll be able to use it but you wont be able to record/rewind...

    So you may as well get the Sky+ box for the year

    Yes and after a year Sky will have you in their clutches as you realise you can't live without the Sky+ features :D

    About 40 decent TV, and 20 decent Radio out of 250+ and 70+ free TV & Radio,

    If you persuade the Sky box to show UK EPG (see stickies) you will get extra BBC & ITV now. Then return card to watch the Pay Channels.
