    Hi I don't know if this is related but I want to cancel my SKY TV and was wondering how many channels I can pick up with the box (free to air?). Is there a trick to it? Do I have to get someone in to do it?

    You cant connect a Freeview box to a satellite dish what you need is 1 of these http://satellite.ie/acatalog /Freesat_and_Free_to_Air_receivers.html Branded Freesat receivers
    Freeview is a UK based terrestrial service receivable from an Aerial.

    Take out your sky card power off the sky box pull out electrical plug for a min or so plug back in switch on box you should receive about 50 decent enough channels. which you can put in to your favourite's
