Can I use my ex-contract sky digital satellite receiver to get Freeview channels
You can get the following Freeview channels on with an ex-contract digital satellite receiver (once it is connected). Items marked with a star require either a Freesat from Sky (fSfS) card, or a expired Sky subscription card to view.

John: If you want to record/pause/play Freeview, you need a Freeview+ or Freeview+HD box.
Your Sky+HD box only works with satellite, and only whilst you subscribe.

nass: Oh right, if you haven't paid for the box then you will have to give it back.
Sorry, I should have started the previous reply with "if".
