yes - its called a sky digibox.

You will not be able to get all the channels for free though - if you want to watch the pay stuff you will have to subscribe.

Or wait a few weeks until BBC Freesat launches - there will be a new range of boxes launching.

as above forget about sky, but get yourself a cheap dish a cheap receiver and try a different satellite, as for example you will be able to get premier with first rate movies and football on saturdays without paying. Its just different providers.

Yep sure is,

but so are all the providers. tps off to astra, digit tv to n3 already testing, polsat started sending cards out but stopped due to problems. But as one door shuts another opens.

Maybe for caravan use 1 x linux box, 1 x laptop and a 3g broadband dongle.

watch this space.

One of the most popular is one of the Dreamboxes. Do a forum search to find out some of their capabilities.

Got this from the NoSky forum:-

Receivers:

Freesat non-HD £35
Freesat HD £99
Freesat HD PVR £149
