Sky q box

briangriffin

Just wondering if it's possible le to use a sky q box for free to air channels, I cancelled my sky Q and still have my satellite and box? Is there any way of watching free to air channels on it?

Doesn't the box have to be returned as it remains the property of sky once you cancel your subscription. You get to keep the dish.

You can use it for free channels feck sky rip of assholes. You could send it back but you could say you have no idea how to uninstall it and you have a phobia of the post office also that their more than welcome to send out one a their technicians to retrieve it for them. I bet you'll get to keep your box and view free channels for years to come.

I don't have one myself and have seen no discussion on how capable these boxes are using FTA channels only as they are generally returned to Sky. I assume as a subscription box they're very limited with regards to the FTA channels.

With your subscription cancelled what is available to you now?

Before you cancelled did they offer you anything to stay

No, no offers surprisingly, I figure I will get it back in if they have good offers going once the recession hits and they are desperate in the mean time would have been nice to watch something on the box

Ok, so they appear to have more control over the SkyQ box than they had with the previous generation of box, just a doorstop now that they might charge you for if you decide not to return it.

On a side issue, I'm transferring to Sky this week from VF, is it a case that that I can change the name and password of my new router to that of my old VF so as to avoid inputting new log in details for all my devices ie printers, Alexa, firestick, mobiles etc?

Thanks.

One thing about Vodafone which I'm with is if your a sports person they don't do hd. It took many phone calls before they admitted this I think discovery and a few other channels are the same I've a 50" TV and you'd notice it with standard definition. I still think they are good value apart from that

Agreed. I'd a free sports pack for 6 months as part of my deal and I thought it was brutal. Almost looked as if there was interference on the TV from back in the old days. I preferred to use SsSports rather than watch a match on it.
