Pay sky a one off £20 freesatfromsky card and you are go to go. I'm actually wondering - I know I can get the sky freesat channels but the new freesat service from the BBC & ITV as announced on the news last week, can the sky dish be used with this service if I were to get a freesat receiver ? Reason being that you can get the new boxes with support for HD built in. The standard sky box and their version of freesat doesn't.
