    Not without a Sky subscription (the "F" in FTA stands for free, don't forget).

    ahh right so having a sky box with no subscription is exactly the same as having one of these fta receivers then?

    1, Yes
    2, Yes
    3,Yes. (although i think sky will send someone out anyway)

    the catch is it will cost you ~€75 per month. Edit:- (€83 actually)


    from sky site
    Initial Monthly cost €70.50
    Ongoing Monthly cost €83
    Upfront payment towards your first
    two bills

    a freesat reciever like the humax foxsat hd will allow you record the channels.

    In terms of the channels available from the 28 degrees east satellite position, yes.
