AFAIK All the free channels are already there m8?

you dont need a smartcard anymore, yet they still send them out i guess for region locking maybe.
Spin.

I think you can get a freesat card off sky but i dont think it will include HD

Surely if you own a Sky box, then even without a card you should still be able to pick up the freesat HD channels, like BBC, ITV and C4?

sky boxes are locked down loads tho diablo , and im not sure if youd need hd activiating by them idiots?

but best way to go is use a dm800 and do it your self.
sky boxes are totally crap, they dont even work on my dads Diseq switch, simply because sky boxes dont support Diseq.

p.s i found out that five* and five usa and a few others need a sky card but wow not missing much.
horror channel is all you need lol
