Can I still use my sky box?

gsxr1

After my subscription has run out.

I have cancelled it a few weeks back and im due to be cut soon. I was going to get UPC but funds dont allow it.

I understand there is free to air channels.

Will I still get them?

watty

yes.

Is it a Sky, Sky+ or SkyHD box? (makes some usability differences)
On Sky+ and SkyHD the pause, record and playback won't work

all the channels here will work

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_free-to-air_channels_in_the_UK
Some might need manually added.
If it's not a Sky HD box, unplugging mains and reconnecting without the viewing card adds channels.
Or go sky 501 (Sky News), press red, wait for interactive to load, take out card, press backup. press backup for any error messages. Press Guide.

You can put the most important Free channels in the 50 Favorites, but not manually added other Channels.

You need an Aerial for Irish TV. But see http://www.saortv.info/ for new services and about Analogue Switch off.
