Note there is a Freesat from Sky, and a Freesat from BBC/ITV.

They are NOT the same thing, and dont pick up the same channels.

The Freesat from BBC/ITV does not pick up ANY Sky channels.

If you already have Sky dish and box you can stop paying the monthly Sky payment and just take their freesat, but I think you lose the Sky+ services.

And Sky Freesat does not offer HD.
