Hi Everyone,
There seems to be quite a lot of interest in free to air reception these days,I have a Humax F1 receiver and use it to access Fox Sports at 43 degrees West (its free to air),
Sky very often uses this channel to show the important golf events,they also show many other sports.
I use NSS-K at 21.5 degrees West for lots of sporting links(again that Sky uses).
There is lots of very interesting channels and broadcast links available free,I have 285 stations stored on my system at the moment from 7 satellites from 43 West to 36 East all on a 80 cm dish and an Omni-sat positioner,try it you will be hooked.

Or would I need a new digital reciever?
If Yes, could you recommend any and how much would they cost?
The sky digibox is not really suitable for FTA reception because it is very limited in the way that you can config the settings for symble rate,fec etc.
Mr Murdoch would only like you to use it for his own programs.You will need a new receiver,get a copy of What Satellite,there are many adverts for FTA receivers in that.
Fox Sports does advertise cricket but I have not seen any yet. RGDS Bob.
By the way, is it legal to watch FTA channels on a different satellite which may be pay channels on SKY platform?
For example, various Asian channels are free to view on IntelSat and EutelSat, whereas they are pay channels on Sky.

Hope that helps

Also, do any of the latest hd boxes support DisQec or whatevet it is called.
If you want FTA satellite outside of the Sky/Freesat range better to buy a Freesat or a general satellite receiver.
