    Sly q box

    Hi

    I run a solo vu2 but purchased a sky q box just to use
    In a spare room the lnb is hybrid but it does not appear to be like a hd box
    Can i not receive free channels
    If this is the case is it of no use unless you subscribe

    A Sky Q box needs a wideband LNB to work.

    I thought you couldn't own a Sky Q box, it was on loan and had to be returned if you cancel your subscription with them.

    Question

    I wonder why Sky chose wideband LNBs for their new boxes rather than Unicable.
    For simpler distribution systems maybe?

    I have the correct lnb, it will not let you view any of the free channels
