Sky / Digital
« on: 13 November 2008, 23:29:59 »
Am I right in thinking that if I cancel sky I can still get freeview, or do I need a freeview box? I have a digital aerial from the old system that went flop. I have no other options where we are. ::)

Also, on the point of digital TV we have noticed that poor weather can affect the signal, what is it going to be like when everyone is on digital and the weather knocks out the signal in the middle of Eastenders?

After you cancel your sky subscription you will not get all of the freeview channels - I know you won't get dave, sky sports news and more 4 music for sure.
