What is the cheapest box I can get to replace the Sky Q box (to get all the free to air channels)","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52056862","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"mas123"},"datePublished":"2024-01-24T12:42:09.000Z","text":" Any idea if it’s difficult to change the LNB? Looks like it’s around £35 from Amazon. If it’s as simple as taking off and putting on a new one I could maybe do it. Not sure if I could adjust angle of dish if required."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52052141","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"KodaBear"},"datePublished":"2024-01-23T19:48:53.000Z","text":"The Arris 4K Freesat boxes are pretty much all you can get nowadays. These support the new LNBs.
If you want to do it the absolute cheapest way it's possibly worth considering downgrading your LNB and using the older boxes.
I would personally recommend the Arris though. It's going to cost a decent amount to buy, but they work well (or at least they do now, after a few years worth of updates to fix issues since launch) and will support the apps and players you might want to use too - Something you won't get with the old boxes.
Compared to what you were paying Sky each month, it probably won't take too long until it's effectively paid off.
I don't suppose you have a TV Aerial? If you do, Freeview and YouView devices tend to be much cheaper."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52052173","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"PS5"},"datePublished":"2024-01-23T19:53:27.000Z","text":"google.com/sea…F-8"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52052970","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"AndyRoyd"},"datePublished":"2024-01-23T21:36:04.000Z","text":"Curveball bypass of actual Q (sic) and just responding to the thread title of \"Sky Q Box Alternative\":
