What channels can I get using old Sky box for freeview?

Moyglish

Hi guys,

I've just wired up an old Sky box we had lying around to use it for some freeview channels.

I've found the following list of channels I should be able to receive:

Are there any other channels I should be able to receive, or does anyone have a comprehensive list of the freeview channels available on Sky boxes anywhere?

Thanks!

I'm not being smart, but you cannot get freeview through any sky box. What you get are Free to Air channels for the most part. There may also be a very small no of Free to View channels.

List of channels on Sky (UK & Ireland) - http://www.channelwiki.org/wiki/List_of_channels_on_Sky_(UK_%26_Ireland)

Under the column encryption/package see the list of channels listed as Free-to-air which should be available on a Sky box without a subscription.

Other channels not listed in the Sky programme guide can be added via "other channels", list of free-to-air channels at 28°E - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_free-to-air_channels_at_28%C2%B0E
