drjunk:My sister cant afford to pay sky there monthly subscription anymore....so she wants to go freeview with sky. Will her sky+ box still be able to record if she does go freeview?No the recording and pause/rewind of live tv functions dont work unless you subscribe! Oh and FWIW don't be conned into buying one of Sky's Freesat cards after you stop subscribing just leave your old card in the sky box, you'll get the same channels with your old card as you would with a "Sky Freesat" card and save yourself 25 quid.
