    You won't get RTE on a Sky box without a subscription, you should be able to get some of the UK channels but I don't know the order. If it's an sd box unplug the box and remove the card, plug it back in and BBC1 should be on 101, it's not so straightforward on a HD box, the channels retain the subscription numbers.

    If the TV can get Saorview a cheap indoor aerial might do the job.

    I am getting all the saorview channels on my sky box without subscription. I only plugged in the box today after 5 years and they work. I had a quick google and saw a few articles saying they are available on sat for free. Is this only a recent thing? I dont pay for sky but have an old card. When I plug the card out, rte goes.

    I have seen that before on a Sky box but as soon as the box polled the Saorview channels and any other ftv were gone. RTÉ is available on sat for free but not from the same satellite as Sky.
