yes call sky and they can issue you a freesat card, I am not sure how much it is.

You might wanna compare, freesat, freesat from sky, and freeview. There used to be channel differences, not sure now as i haven't researched in a while.

i have been trying to do that, but sky say 240+ channels but wont list them, i phoned and i can get a sky freeview card for 25 quid and it lasts 3 years but i cant tie them down to what channels

Doesn't sound very FREEview if its £25 every 3 years

Well unless they are offering anything extra, freesat box would be cheaper in the long run. Run a google search, bound to have been asked online in the past.

I thought it was on their website, I looked into it as was going to cancel and go freesat but they slashed the crap out of the subscription charge so I stayed..:-)

Regular freeview was the best option when i looked a while ago, its non satellite of course.

bit the bullet and ordered the sky card, 25 quid is cheaper than buying a new box
