What works on a Sky Q box without a subscription

[1980ni]

Does the Q Box even accept free to air once the subscripton is cancelled?

No

Free to air channels are available on a Sky Q box without subscription.

Cancelled in July. Told I don't need to return the box (can if I wish for recycling)

Has worked fine for free to air channels - no recording or on demand obviously

The situation may well have changed since this thread started two years ago, with the era of satellite television in the UK now drawing to a close.  Sky not requiring the return of Q hardware is a new thing, and would indicate they don't particularly care about previous restrictions.
