Set Top Boxes & Receivers are a nice cheap alternative to Sky and a standard setup is free viewing. Many come with the feature of a hard drive to enable you to programme and record films, soaps and other programmes if you out, on holiday or watching another channel. This is very much like the SKY + box you can buy but only costs the purchase price.
