Doug Balmer: Be AWARE that as from the day you switch to FreeSat-from-SKY then your existing recordings on your SKY+ box WILL NOT be accessible. To keep any, you need to start copying them now....

PamF:
Or.... give 31 days notice to Sky to terminate your TV contract with them, and pay £10 each month thereafter to receive FreeSat from Sky with a FreeSat EPG and recording facility on your Sky+ box - with no Contract commitment.
If you also have Skytalk telephone line and Sky Broadband you can keep this and continue to pay the subscriptions for these services in addition to the £10pm. If you don't have them then you may have to pay a one-off £25 fee for a FreeSat viewing card.
SKY will probably offer - as an alternative, and to keep you as a Sky customer - to remove your other Sky HD channels, leaving you with the 5 FreeSat HD free to air channels and reduce your other TV pack[s] subscription down to around £10/£11pm in total, for six months, again without a Contract commitment.... This will let you keep the Sky EPG in addition to the Sky+ recording facility. And allow you to easily switch back to Sky if you should wish. You decide.....?
