Or you could get a freesat Box (Sky blocks some channels when you cancel your subscription even though they are free to air). Plus with Freesat you could get one that records etc. | | | |

freesat good shout,but if you don't want to splash out--pretty sure sky will give you basic channels free haven't looked,but sure 2nd hand freesat wont be expensive on ebay good luck! | | | |

It gives you most channels, but a few free-to-air ones are blocked, like Dave. | | | |
