Ditching Sky TV

[Jubal]

I’ve just binned Sky Q off. Contract ended and the offer was derisory. So…on the WAF front, can I install a Freesat box and just plug in to the dish? Also, who can recommend what for the odd legal footie game? I have TNT sport so it’s Sky games I need occasionally.

I don’t think a Freesat box will work off the Q dish. I’m probably wrong

Thanks. I think

Sky Q satellite dish

I am thinking of leaving sky and getting a free sat box instead. Will this work with my Sky Q satellite dish? I can't seem to get a straight answer from the people I have spoken to about it today.

Looks like you’ll need a 4K Freesat box.

For games on Sky you can get a day pass for Now TV, costs about £10.

Yes. Found that just now. I’m cheap, wonder if s/h 4k boxes are all equal…?
