Sky+ with no sky subscription?
 
OK, I've just cancelled all my sky subs apart from Sky+ £10 per month. So I
can see all the freeview stuff, but looking on the sky website, looks like I
can't get some of the channels, like FTN for instance.

Is this the case?

What channels should I be able to get, and is the list on Sky website
omitting FTN from the list just to get me to buy a package?

TIA
Tracey

Very simply everything that you can still see with the viewing card removed,
plus C4, Five, and Sky Three (Ch 108) And that's it.

And ch. 998, not that anyone would really call that a channel.

From what I've heard, a Sky+ with no subbie just acts like a plain
digibox, i.e. it won't record even FTA channels.

I still have Sky+ subbie, £10 per month, and it does record FTA stuff. BUT
I'm really hacked off because a couple of things I recorded before I ditched
my package are stored on my hard drive and I can't play them back without a
subbie. Jammy gits!

I'm now seriously considering getting a DVD/harddrive recorder with freeview
built in, and ditching sky completely.
