Agreed. Better and cheaper! (Well free usually is!!!)

MSG, Could you provide me with more details about that? Are you saying that the \"normal\" subscription route is the better one?"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/1950728","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"deleted5933"},"datePublished":"2008-04-23T09:34:48.000Z","text":"First of all, yes you can connect any satellite receiver to Sky dish and this is perfectly legal. There are a lot of FTA (Free To Air) channels on Astra 28.2 (that's where Sky dish is pointing at). Most of Freeview channels can be picked from there apart from Channel 5 AFAIR.
Alternatively, you can get a bigger dish (these cost pretty much nothing these days), decent receiver (Linux-based one if possible) and start playing with it However, this will cost you more than Freesat from Sky "}],"commentCount":9,"interactionStatistic":0,"articleSection":"Misc"}
