I couldn’t find the exact question after a bit of searching so hopefully you’ll bear with me.
We are intending to give up on Sky as the cost has rocketed and is now well over £100/month and want to move to Freesat for the main TV as we have Freesat in the bedroom which covers most of our needs, and we also have Netflix for films (plus about 500 DVDs collected over 20 years or so).
Using an internet streaming service is not feasible as we are in a remote area (so Freeview is useless) and our BB is by radio link bounced from house to house across a Loch.
The question is:
When we give up Sky, can we still use the Sky box as a Freesat box or would we need to buy a new one, and if we keep it, can we still watch the recorded programmes?
