i don't have an aerial, otherwise it would be easy to just get a freeview box with HDD
You won't be able to have sky+ recording on the Freesat service mate, because with Freesat you aren't actually subscribing to sky, so therefore you technically aren't a customer on their database with a package, so you will still have to pay the £10
I work for sky, now in the freesat dept, if anyone has any questions, just give me a shout (but don't shout AT me pls
)
I'm happy to answer anything people wanna ask, and try and help if I can
The "throwing the box out the door" stuff is not the best idea, because the equipment doesn't belong to sky, it belongs to you. You don't rent the box etc from sky like you do with telewest/virgin, and cancelling you DD doesn't work either, as that is only one method of payment. Cancelling your DD doens't in turn canel the contract, so that's why sky will still chase you for the money
