I have just done a google to try and find out what channels the basic

the channel info. Can anyone tell me or point me in the right
direction before my wife makes a complete balls up of communications
in this house?

We've had FreeSat-from-Sky for a few years now, as Freeview isn't
currently available to us.

You can get *most* of the FTA channels without involving either Sky or
FreeSat.


I looked into doing that - but I'm no good on tall ladders, and hiring
someone to do the installation would have been pricey, as the house is
in a fairly remote area. It was easier and cheaper to pay Sky the GBP
150, for the equipment, installation, and card.

It doesn't actually have to be mounted high up. There is quite a lot
about this elsewhere, seems Sky installers try to fit quite low
specifically to avoid the H&S issues of doing so higher up.

Of course, you might not be happy with that, but the dish would be quite
content.
