Just got an HD Sky+ box off someone, got no viewing card but there is a Sky dish on my house and its still live with a good signal as the bloke who came to move my Virgin Media box before xmas tested it for me and said it was still working.

So, if I get a viewing card or expired Sky card (from where?), presumably I will be able to pick up any free to air satellite channels?

 

Any advice please?

 

Thank you!! :tt1:

Sky sell a "free to air" card I think, which will allow you to receive the free channels. Not sure how much it is though.

Will not be able to use the sky+ record etc. on a free view card. The card was a one off price of £25

 

Also best to do a softwear download after the box is pluged in. Easy to do

 

Turn of the power from the plug, put your finger on the back up button on the top of the box. Keep your finger on the button and turn the power back on. Keep your finger there until all the light on the front of the box light up. Now leave the box alone for 20mins.

 

Any more help PM me
