I have a standard FTA system with a Strong receiver.

At the moment I have it programmed to look at BBC and ITV interactive pages individually.

I would like to have a red button facility to access interactive content.

Will a Sky Box without subscription do the trick or do I have to subscribe?

I don't want to subscribe to Sky. Any solutions?

Thank you.

I think it will still work with a FTA card in it. Not 100% sure as my Sky box is a long and distant bad memory so i have no way of testing it now

I'm sure it still worked when i had it on FTA before i had cable put in.

Yes, Sky digibox red-button interactivity is fine on FTA channels without a subscription
