whats a sky dodgybox? and yeah, i understand about the contractual bit, just seems a bit daft how these channels are ''free channels'' yet they is so much politics inolved in recieing them...

My receiver can get ITV HD and Sky encrypted channels (with a valid Sky card) including CH 4 HD, so the best of both worlds, but without the fancy EPGs.

yeah, i think that will be the way i will go, generic box with no channel limitations... i origianlly looked in here as i had the old sky box i had aquired, and wanted to know what i could do with it, but now i'm starting to get intrigued...

FreesatfromSky is the free channels;
Pay Once Watch Forever is a subscription that you will be entered into after the trial period - if you forget to cancel ?

yeah, only if u forget to cancel. and its only 30days notice to cancel. thats what led me to think that its market ploy, as its half the price of the freesat from sky package, so i'm guessing more people will take it up and sky will just be hoping people get into the trial channels and decide to keep them or cancel too late...

Everyone knows what PITA is- Pain In The A... 'neck'

Digibox= dodgybox=sluggybox, or whatever other insults you want to throw at it.

Mainly because all they can do is pick up channels from 28E, because Sky have severly nobbled them for any other use.
