turbomonkeycock Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 ...other than sell it on eBay My dad is moving house and has therefore given me his old digibox as he is getting Sky+ in his new place. I don't have Sky, or a dish, but I have his box and viewing card. Now i'm not looking for illegal stuff(PM me with that pls ;) ) but can I somehow use this as a freeview box or something? If not it's off to eBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beauvoir Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 yeah. U can do wot i have. U fone up sky and get a card that costs like ?20 one off fee. And you can watch all the free channels such as BBC News 24. (in fact, all the BBC channels). Channel 1-5 ITV news, ITV2 and 3... all that kinda stuff EDIT: Look here for a supposed complete listing of all the channels u can get. Howver, all that im suggestiung DOES require a Sat. dish. But im sure u could find a cheap one somewhere? http://www.bbc.co.uk/digital/channels.shtml#satellite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
