Question

Why, after cancelling my Sky subscription, do I not receive the same free channels as I do using freeview?

Answer 1

on sky channels like e4 for are not free but on freewiew they are free

Answer 2

You will need a freeview box.

Answer 3

because the sky people are like the councils and govt, a law to themselves.

Why do sky have ads when people pay subs?

People are daft for supporting them.

Answer 4

this could be down to various reasons:

1. because the area you are in has a bad signal/reception, my friend lives on a farm and he can't get the Hits and TMF e.t.c.

2. because u were previously using a satelitte u wud be able to get all the freeview channels, but now that you are using an ariel, u cant pick up some of the channels that you used to.

solution:

get a new ariel (this may sound stupid but on the freeview adverts they say that some areials need to be upgraded to recieve freeview.

U could be stuck though, just because u live in a bad area, im afraid thats just hard luck and the only solution is moving house. lol

Answer 5

because they completely blocked your card, get a new free card (maybe on ebay)

Answer 6

if u are using the sky box to watch tv i know sky does not let you watch e4 more 4 etc for free but you can on the freeview boxes i think that is to with e4's contract with sky
