Does Sky's freesat card allow you to watch all normally free channels shown on Freeview e.g. Dave or does it only allow decryption of channels 4 and 5??
Can anyone point me in the direction of a web site listing the channels which are available with a Sky freesat card ?

No. you get most of the free to air channels including Dave. I say most as there are slight differences you get a couple on freesat you don't get on free to air and vice versa but definately Dave is on.

Hi Ken. Anyone with a Sky box can get the free channels. If you want to watch 4 and 5 you have to pay Ģ20.

Probably covered before but when you have been a subscriber and cancel your subscription your card reverts to a freesat card. Give yourself plenty of time though because Sky cling on to your direct debit like a Jack Russell on heat. At least they did mine, I had to cancel my card in the end and still they made another deduction from my new card which they did not have the number of.
You may find your sky box will temporary loose 4 and 5 if you leave it off for a few weeks. It can then take up to 48hours being switched back on to get the latest software updates and restore all of the free channels.
