Pretty much anything anywhere providing it has an SR of 22,000 or 27,500 and you're prepared for some nimble finger work on the remote - Sky deliberately made it a pain in the bum for you to add 'other channels' and then view them...

Certain of the digiboxes get a little skittish when on a satellite other than 28.2E too. I think they have homesickness built into the firmware

In other words, OK for a quick play - but you'll very soon get fed up with it all. £50 spent on an FTA receiver is a cheap price to pay for your sanity
