Hi Ab'ers, looks like my old sky+ box I've been using as a freeview box has gone kaput. I have tried everything on Youtube and reset advice on the internet but no joy, mind it's lasted a good 15 years! So now I'm looking for a freeview box that will use my satellite dish or the internet via wifi. I dont like the itv or bbc iplayer apps as I like to see a planner/guide to all channels (the apps are poor in that department) ie what is coming on over the next week for all channels. Also I'm not bothered about recording too. Can anyone recommend one from say Argos etc. I would happily have a "Freely TV" but there's no Freely box I can see! TIA

Or a used Sky box from eBay?

DDIL, you're probably aware, when you cancel sky subscription, the box still gives you freeview channels, you cannot record, you can still set reminders in your planner, you need the original card in to get regional channels. We've used ours this way for a good 10yrs until it went kaput. A replacement box will do exactly the same as the old one so nothing gained.
