This way I can avoid using two remotes. So far I managed to tune SkyOne directly, but no other channels show up.
Many thanks!

You will get the basic five channels without the box; if you're lucky you might catch one or two of the others like Sky One although in my experience these seem to become available accidentally and come and go at random. Before we got NTL digital we just had our TV tuned directly through the cable (cablecos are obliged by law to continue to feed the free channels through any cable they have installed, even after a subscription has been cancelled) and for a while we even had E4. We asked the engineer who did our digital install about it and he said he'd even heard of people getting free p0rn this way ...
Don't expect it to last tho'.
