No , as it can only pick up signals from a certain bandwith . ( Picking up only sky )

Yes it can! Without any adjustment to the direction of the dish, you can simply swap your sky box for a freesat box, or more simply cancel your sky subscription and then you will automatically recieve the freesat stations through your sky box. Sky will still charge £10 per month for the skyplus recording facillity if you continue to record programs in any one month. However, if you don't use it, you don't pay. Remember, the dish belongs to you not Sky.
