Sky has an offer currently (January/February 2007) which presumably targets potential Freesat viewers. For £10 a month you get all the Freesat channels but on top of that you can choose two mixes plus a free digibox and installation. It's a 12 months contract so in total you pay £120 but you need to remember to cancel 30 days before it finishes. Then it will automatically be converted to Freesat only.
If you were to get Freesat only from www.freesatfromsky.com you would pay £150 for the card, installation and digibox. So, the deal from Sky is one not to miss…

It will be interesting to see how Sky will target Freesat from the BBC and ITV, with it’s launch now imminent.
Will they offer free Sky+ PVR recording with only an FTV card in the slot?
They’ll have to do something - with BBC, ITV and Channel 4 seemingly on board Freesat from day one and Five also looking to get in on the act ASAP.
Sky won’t be able to offer HD like Freesat though, with only a tiny percentage of existing digiboxes being HD-capable.
