Magwall: You can get a Freeview box for £10 in some places, there is no problem using both Freeview and Freesat to get the widest range of channels.

Matthew: Well, you buy and install another dish pointing at the appropriate satellite and make arrangements for the subscription with the non-UK broadcaster of your choice.

You could even get a motorised dish and suitable receive and you can watch from any number of satellites.

Lavender: If you want to play/record/pause (ie, use both wires) you need a Freesat+ or Freesat+HD box. You can get these from any high street electrical retailer.

A Sky+ or Sky+HD box will not play/record/pause without a Sky subscription.

Gareth: Yes, but the Sky+ box will not record/pause/play without a Sky subscription.

However, you can use a Freesat+ or Freesat+HD box with the dish - you will need the satellite-grade coaxial cables to link the LNB on the dish - but installation is quite straightforward.
