Default Freesat dish - DIY possible ?

Channel 4 is now free, Sky viewing card or not and can be picked up
by any box.


Still only FTV not FTA on a Skybox 104, just checked...


That does not contradict my statement.

As you said, "Yes there is a FTA stream". It was available for some
weeks, perhaps a few months, before the Freesat launch date.

that you can use via "Other Channels" on a
Skybox but that is PITA to use and GuidePlus+ can't drive a Skybox that
well.


I make no comment on the problems which crippled boxes have in
receiving channels.
