Spare sky digibox, what can i do?

Esse85 · 2009-10-03 23:03:40

I've a spare standard digibox and about 3 old viewing cards. I've just moved into an apartment where i've been told there is a sky connection but there's no box. Would it be possible for me to view some of the free channels here like BBC, CH4 etc... If so, what do i need to do??

Well if the cable and sat are already set up, its just a matter of plug and play.

Good tip is to add all the free-to-air channels to favourites so you can have your own little guide with just those channels.

For the FTV Channels like the BBC's and the ITV's you will not need a viewing card. Ch4 will block some Programming http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055097837.

To watch Sky 3, FIVE USA, FIVE USA +1, FIVER, FIVER +1 you can buy this card https://mysky.sky.com/replacecard/?DCMP=BAC-replacecard.
