Can I use my ex-contract sky digital satellite receiver to get Freeview channels

We have bought a new digital tv for the kitchen - it is hooked upto sky and that is fine but we cannot get any digital channels - we could with our old tv?

nicky: When you say "it is hooked upto sky", do you mean by a SCART or aerial lead?

Liz: The Sky box will provide the English services without a viewing card to tell it otherwise. If you have a fSfS ("Freesat from Sky") card, you can ring Sky and tell them you live in Scotland.
If you don't, then you will need a fSfS card - call 08442 411 602 and they will sell you one for about £25.
Another option is to get a Freesat box, you can get these from about £30 - you enter your postcode as part of the setup. See Upgrading from Sky to Freesat

Hi I have sky + in my living room, but want to use my old sky box to watch free view in my bedroom. (dont want to pay extra for multiroom) If I connect this directly to the dish will it work? I still have my old viewing card...
Thank you...
