Sky+ Box as a Freeview recorder?

[YoungBlood]

I have been contemplating lately about canceling my whole sky package as I realy dont watch enough TV to justify paying for it anymore, but I was wondering if I did this would I still beable to use the sky+ box to get the freeview channels and use the same sky dish, as we have no aerial on the house.

Also would I still beable to use the sky+ box to record the freeview channels as I would hate to miss my daily dose of aussie soaps

I would ring and ask them but only have my mobile and dont fancy being stuck on hold forever.

well the last 2-3 days I have had the dreaded no signal is being recived error on the box, phoned them up and did the whole reset the dish thing and still no good

They wanted £65 for an engineer to visit, which I think is kinda high considering the prices of the subscriptions, I told them I could not afford it right now and would just leave it a few days and hope it fixes it's self.

He actually said that might do the trick as all this hot weather could be causing the problem

Is it difficult to re-allign the dish yourself, are there special tool's required?
Meh, maybe I'll just throw bricks at it while shouting is that any better?? through the window
