How Can I Cancel My Sky Subscription & Get Free Digital & Satellite TV

I have cancelled my sky subscription and am looking for a box that will give me all the Irish tv channels (via Saorview) plus the free-to-air UK channels. Will a Digital & Satellite Combo Receiver do the trick?

Yes it can give you all the Saorview channels and any of the Free UK channels (BBCs, ITVs, Channel 4, Five, Sky News, Film4 etc) including the HD ones

Will I have the RTE channels in HD?

Yes

Will I get all those 125 channels listed in your List of Channels through the satellite dish even though I'm not paying a subscription to Sky any more?

Yes exactly as given on the list below. This is the beauty of modern Free TV - there is a lot of good stuff there.

Do you think this will do everything that the 'officially endorsed' Walker receiver for Saorview will do?

  • A generic combo receiver will not - it does not have MHEG5 which will effect the teletext service (not on SD channels but on HD channels)


I live in Kingscourt in Cavan and my analogue picture at the moment isn't great. Will the picture improve?

Yes the Digital Terrestrial Signal (Saorview signal) is much much stronger than analogue. You will most likely be able to get away with your existing group B UHF aerial from Carin Hill.


I have a dish and an aerial installed. So is this box all I need for the switch from analogue to digital?

Again you should just need to buy the box.
