Freeview and Sky
 
I've reduced my subscription to Skyfreesat for the winter (only interested
in the cricket), thinking the service would be the same as a Freeview box.
But now it seems more and more of the better channels are appearing on
Freeview but not available on Skyfreesat (noteably E4 and More4).
I'm thinking therefore of buying a cheap Freeview box to use with my Sky +
box.
Anyone have any things to look out for when running the two together?
Thanks

Spend a bit more and get one with a hard drive and twin tuners.

Ideally your TV should have two RGB scarts.

Not sure how closely you expect them to work together.
If you were thinking about using the Sky+ box to record Freeview, (or any
external source), then forget it.
