How can I watch Channel 4 and five on satellite if I have no card or a free-to-v
Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV Get a replacement card from Freesat from Sky (fSfS)
Get a new free-to-view installation from Sky, by calling their hot-line on 0870-240 5651 and choose option 1. You can pay for a replacement Freesat from Sky (fSfS) card by paying £20 with a credit or debit card.Get new Sky free-to-view installation
Get a new free-to-view installation from Sky, by calling their hot-line on 0870-606 1111. You will get a new dish, a new Digibox, a new free-to-view card and full installation.Get a Freeview box
From £20: If you are in a Freeview reception area (see Freeview Reception) then you can get a Freeview box from a local store. This will give you several additional TV channels ( f-tn, The Box, TMF, UK Bright Ideas, UK History, Sky Sports News) and some extra radio stations.This will keep your digital wide-screen reception of Channel 4 and five.
Subscribe to Sky for a year
From £157.50: If you have never had a free box and dish from Sky, then the best way is to get the offer from Sky and get a free Digibox, and subscribe to the Value Pack for one year.Either phone 08705-800874 or visit http://www.sky.com/ordersky/home
Re-subscribe to Sky
From £15: If you have been a Sky subscriber in the past, you should not have to complete the minimum term of one year. You can re-subscribe to Sky on the Value Pack and cancel again after one month. Either phone 08708-501 607 or visit http://www.sky.com/ordersky/homeWatch on analogue cable
From Free: If you have ever had a cable TV service (analogue or digital), the law requires that itv-1, Channel 4 and five are kept available as an analogue service, even if you have stopped a subscription many years ago.Most systems now use a digital TV receiver to produce the analogue picture for these channels, so the quality is good. However, it is not wide-screen.
You will need a cable to connect the TV Out socket on the cable box using a suitable cable (made from parts 16-0605 and 16-0445 from www.rapidelectronics.co.uk) and you will have to re-tune your TV or video.
Because of the way that digital TV is carried on cable systems, you must connect the video and TV by a SCART cable, and tune in the video only.
Watch on analogue UHF
From Free: As a final backup, you may still be able to receive an analogue. The picture quality may be poor, and will not be wide-screen.Updated 27/2/06 to reflect ITV channels being free-to-air

jane: There is nothing to stop you provided you have another feed run from the dish to the upstairs room, plus you should be aware that you can only use the Sky+ box as you would with a standard non-subscription box, insomuch that the recorder side will be inoperative as Sky controls that at all times, this including playback of anything that may be stored on it.

Hi John here, my question is-
if I put the freeview aerialfeed through the sky box will the sky box improve the freeview signal ie act as an amplifier?, the freeview aerial is a communal one installed on a roof pole through a splitter / amplifier serving 5 bungalows
Many thanks
John

John: In my experience no! and indeed some Sky HD boxes can have the opposite to the desired effect.
Taking into consideration the number of outlets that's being fed if you feel that the signal could do with a boost then the item on the link is perfect for this purpose, as although this device is capable of amplifying to a level far in excess of what you require it is variable from zero to 20db, and so a happy medium can quite easily be found.
Argos item number: 534 / 4235 (£11.99) on page 565.

Surely, you do not need to pay Sky anything to watch channels 4 & 5?
These are free-to-air channels which can be watched free of any charges on a freeview receive or a satellite receiver such as a Sky box or a freesat receiver.
If you want to watch them in HD, you can on a freeview box or a freesat box but you will have to pay to watch them in HD on a Sky box.

bill marshall: Thats by far the best idea!. I am sure that once you start using the Freesat box you will wonder why you ever put up with the Tristar, especially its "free to air" menu system.
The other point being, that should you have managed to get the remote control working again it would only have been a matter of time before something else cropped up, and of course these boxes have virtually no back up to rely on, it being exceedingly difficult to find out any detailed technical information on them.
