In a bid to save a few pennies i am thinking of cancelling my Sky. If i do so and keep the box plugged in, i assume i will still receive the freeview channels?

So, will the sky+ still work?

sky+ should work tbh as its 2 tuners and a harddrive

There are still 2 feeds coming from the LMB

maybe wrong thou, take the viewing card out and see if it works if so yes it will

Sky+ 100% doesn't work when you cancel your subscription. You cannot even watch the stuff already in your planner.

I don't think you'll pick any channels up either. (lie when you remove the card)

The box will be dead.
