Re: Help! Advice needed to go from sky to freeview!
If you end your Sky subscription, the Sky box/card should operate in "freesat from Sky" mode, but you will lose the + recording functions unless you pay a separate £10 per month subscription just to keep those features.

Alternatively, a Freesat+ box would connect in place of the Sky+, would allow recording, and would not have a whole heap of unsubscribed channels to scroll through.

NB. Freesat desctriptions...
Freesat+ is recording
Freesat HD ... is HD (not recording)
Freesat+ HD is recording and HD
"Freetime" is the scrollback EPG with on-demand catchup (similar to Youview for freeview) - can be found on some recording, and some non-recording devices - there is a £99 HD with freetime that is not a recording one (and of course, broadband connection is required for catchup)
