    I'm minding a house for someone and they have Sky set up but not paid up, so can't watch anything.

    Is it possible to to just watch free to air through the box without a subscription while I'm here?

    I can see the satellite dish is feeding into the box (dish input 1 & 2)
    Box is a Sky+HD
    I have the option of plugging an ethernet cable in, if that happens to make any difference.

    You should be able to see the basic free to air channels such as BBC, ITv etc but no Irish TV.

    Thanks, I only flicked through to the Irish and Sky channels. I'll check the UK ones.

    BBC should be on 141,2 and 4 should be there, ITV or C5 won't be available.
