sky+ and freeview

Can't find this easily in the faq's - I have a sky+ sub with multiroom.
If I cancel Sky and want to reveive free channels: -

Can I receive them through my existing equipment?
Will the multiroom digibox still work?
What channels can I get?
Do I need new viewing cards?
Will reception be through the satellite dish?
Will the Sky epg work?
Will I still be able to record programs on Sky+?

Thanks Guys,

Dave

Thanks for that.

Is there no way at all of using the box as a hdd recorder without a
paid sky sub?

If I buy a new hdd recorder will it work thru the sky dish?

You will get the channels that you can get now with your card removed,
plus C4, C5, FiveUS, FiveLife, Sky Three.

Only if you pay Sky £10 per month.

You can pay the £10/month fee for Sky+ recording only, without any
channel subscription, but you do have to pay something if you want to
record.

Yes, you'll need to hook it up to your Sky box but it should have no
problem in recording from Sky that way.
