Hi can someone give me any info on Sky no card channels...
I moved from England 3 years ago and currently live in Llanrwst, Sir Conwy in North Wales. I only found out a week ago that the erea in which I live can only receive 14 of the entertainment freeview channels as apposed to the 73 everywhere else. My receiver is at Betws-y-Coed four miles from here. I always thought it was a signal problem so I went with Sky a year ago. I have since found out that the broadcasters won't pay for the receiver and that before the switchover the erea I live in where only getting 4 channels!!!!!!!!!!!
My question is if I cancel my sky tv subscription will I still get all the channels listed on this website under sky no card?? I am currently using a communual aerial and I still get messages through my sky +HD box "You are currently not getting a satalite signal" and I have to turn it off and switch it off at the wall socket and wait for it to come back on, sometimes when it is working ok I get that same message when I turn over channels.. I have had the housing ass' engeneers out to look at it. I suggested that maybe there was so many of us feeding off the communual aerial but they denied this!! I am not allowed to have a sky dish.

jb38.. Thank you both for your feedback...
I should've mentioned that the engeneers who came out from my housing ass' set my box to single feed, but that meant I would have to watch the programme I am recording!! As I am away some of the time that meant I wouldn't be able to use the sky plus app on my android, also the single feed settings only gave a synopsis of the programme I was watching and the one after that, which is also no good to me as I like to see ahead what I am watching as there are a lot of repeats!!! I upgraded my subscription with Sky to the variety bundle last June, I am hoping to cancel my Sky subscription in May if I can still get the channels listed here...
I have checked the back of my box and the LNB1 input disappears through the outside of my wall and the LNB2 is connected to wall inside.... Is this correct? I have only recently started using the recording and playing back features.... It won't be that much of a loss to me once I cancel my subscription. I can put up with the "No satalite signal" as I don't see the point in having to watch a programme you are recording and I need my synopsis!! As long as I can get all the listings here that will be ok.... :-)
