Sky Q & Freesat

I wish to keep Sky Q and watch the occasional programme on Freesat.

How do I do this?

you cannot keep your Q box without a subscription.

Sky do offer 'essentials' that allows access to 'free' channels - it retails at £15 per month.

Thank you. I intend to keep Sky Q and just use Freesat occasionally, but not at £15 /month.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hi @John+squared The Sky Q box belongs to Sky and they will want it back. Even if you pay the non-return fee ownership still belongs with Sky, plus they will probably disable it. I would buy a 4K Freesat box.

Thank you @MightyQuinn

I do not intend to stop using Sky Q.

I was just looking to see if there was a simple/free/cheap way by which I could, on the odd occasion, use Freesat.

It appears there is not.

Cheers

Unfortunately not. You may be able to get that £15 discounted if you agree a minimum term. Reports as 'cheap' as £5pm on here.
