2nd box for freeview?
 

Can anyone help? I am moving in a couple of weeks, and we have sky+ which I
am getting reinstalled by Sky, but I have also asked them to put are old
digibox, which we don't use at the moment, in a playroom for our kid. I
want them to be able to see the kiddies channels, but don't want to pay for
a second subscription. Am I entitled to some kind of free to view card from
sky for this box, or do I just get certain channels without a card in that
box?

Thanks,

Mark

Am I entitled to some kind of free to view card from

A free to view card is 23.50 before 31 Jan www.free2view.tv, it gives
you itv1, Ch4 and five

or do I just get certain channels without a card in that
box?


yes some are free BBC1,2,3,4,CBBC,CBeebies,News24,Parl,CNN, Sky New
etc


NOTE - No such thing as "Freeview" on a Sky digibo

The rest are PAY channels, EVEN many of those on "FREEVIEW", Sky
charge 10 pound a month for a mirror subscription card
