hi i have just moved from a cable area to an area which only has sky and is using a shared dish, is there a box which i can use to recieve channels without suscribing to sky?

Yes of course there is - any digital receiver will give you all the free channels - no subscription to sky required at all

Of course what you are actually asking is "how can I defraud the sky pay tv service and get the scrambled stuff free like what Ive been doing for years on cable" isnt it??

Well you cant on satellite - you either subscribe or you do without. Your choice

jamie, make sure you get a box that reads a ftv card. That way you will be able to get Five and Chan 4 as well as a few others that are ftv and not fta.

The easiest option and probably the cheapest is a sky digibox.
