Mandy Lifeboats Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Help!!!!! I have many skills but dealing with technology is definitely not one of them. I have a 15 year old TV and Freesat from Sky (which I understand isn't the same as Freesat?) I want to buy a new TV but the present TV and Sky box are so old that they still use scart connections. Therefore I want to get an updated box with HD. I don't really understand if set top boxes are automatically compatible with SKY Freesat? Many of them say Freesat compatible but I don't know if that includes SKY Freesat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) Wow, that's still a thing? As I understand it, you need a new Sky box, not just a generic set top box; Freesat from Sky requires your Sky card. I think your best starting point is here. https://ukfree.tv/channels/all You can compare the channels you get on Freeview, Freesat, and Freesat from Sky, see which channels you actually watch, and from there know which kind of box you need to buy. If you want Freesat from Sky, I'm fairly sure you don't want to buy a Freesat box, you need a Sky box. Make sure you keep the card from your current box, and you'll need to call Sky to get it paired to your new Sky box.
