Question for the tv techies

[HenryJ]

Would anyone know if this old Sky box can be reused for free tv use? I still have the dish mounted but gave up the subscription a few years back.

Yes connect it up as was and you can get all the free channels assuming nothing has changed.

There’ also a way to get the UK free to air channels on it which you don’t get all of under Irish setup

Yes you can. You won’t get any of the Irish channels on satellite though. Buy a uk sky card on eBay for about €1 and you will pick up all the free to air UK satellite channels. Get the Irish fta channels on Saorview with an aerial.

Thanks lads. I’ve reconnected it and have a good few channels on it (mostly shite) but BBC is working and some movies as well.
