Also... Be careful what Freesat box you get. There tends to be loads of channels picked up and a lot of them need various cards. Seeing the wood from the trees can be very difficult so the user interface is key to making it usable


Which Freesat channels need cards?

Viewing card. Do I need a viewing card? No, as Freesat is a subscription-free
service, no viewing card is required. Back to help ยท Using your existing

A true Freesat receiver shows Freesat channels, it is possible to see other
channels that are not Freesat, but you won't see them with a standard set up of
the receiver.

Actually freesat is only 5 channels or so. But sky make free to air
channels avaialable on freeview part of their package and you dont need
a card or a subscription to see them
