Answer me this one,a friend of mine was telling me that he recently cancelled all his SKY subscriptions,said he had an awful job getting rid of the leeching cunts but told them he was emigrating and closing his account.As the legal owner of his Sky box and sattelite dish hes now recieving a heap of BBC,ITV,C4 and RTE channels free to air,im thinking of doing this myself its costing me 75 a month or so and im watching fuck all of it anyway,the only problem is that i have a Sky plus box and was hoping i could continue recording stuff thats on the free to air channels after i dump SKY off my direct debit list,would the recording still work?
Good question TLW, I am thinking of doing the exact same thing. I had asked a friend of mine to install one of the free to air dishes and he, fair play, said no need, just cancel sky. I’ll check it out with him about the recording. I am not so sure if you will still recieve the RTE channels? Anyone know this? I cancelled sky before cos my dish and skybox got banjaxed. It was near impossible to cancel that time, they tried every stunt. I got my wife then to sign up and got new dish and box installed for 45 yoyos.
I have the free to air card on the ordinary sky box. You will not recieve RTE1,2,TV3 or TG4. You need the normal aerial to get these unfortunetly or a good set of rabbit ears might get you a decent picture depending on location.
I cancelled my sky a couple of years back and still get bbc 1,2,3,4 bbc regionals, utv etc through it as they can’t cancel the channels you install yourself. I don’t have rte though. In order to cancel it I think you have had to subscribe to it for a year or something. Probably ways around that too. Would love to see sky suffer in this recession. Fucking evil company.
Ulster efficiency at it’s best
Cheers puke.
