Product Description

Why pay for Sky TV channels that you do not watch?

This is a DIY kit if you wish to change from Sky to Saorview and UK Free to Air TV including Freesat channels.
We also offer a full installation service within our coverage area, to see this please click here.

If you already have a working sky dish then this DIY kit will receive UK Free to air including Freesat channels as this service uses the same satellite to broadcast to Ireland and the UK.

This kit also contains a compact aerial which you can install outside to also view the Saorview channels .
Both Saorview and Uk Freesat services can be viewed on the set top box using the same remote control displaying a combined Ireland and Uk single channel list.

Please be aware that when replacing a Sky Q box you must also change the LNB on the dish to a standard LNB. You can find a suitable LNB here.

If you are changing from a sky + box you may be able to use one of the existing cables going to the dish to connect to the aerial for saorview, an adapter for that cable is included. In this case you do not need to run a new cable.

You simply replace your sky box with the included Amiko combo receiver and install (outside) the small aerial included for Saorview channels using one of your existing cables if you were using a sky+ box.

If you need to run a new cable for the small Saorview aerial (included) then please choose this using the drop down menu option above.

What TV services and channels will this receiver allow me to watch?
You will be able to watch a broad range of the most popular free channels from the UK via Freesat, and from Ireland via Saorview. The package includes RTE, BBC, ITV, UTV NI, Channel 4 etc. and includes both high definition (HD) and standard definition channels.
The box is pre programmed with free satellite channels from the UK and it takes just a few moments to add your local Saorview service using the step by step instructions we send to you via email..

For a full list of the channels you'll be able to watch please click here.

What's included with this purchase?
An Amiko Combo receiver which will allow you to watch Saorview and UK Freesat channels . You can view Saorview RTE,Virgin 1,2,3 and TG4 using the included compact aerial as well as UK free satellite channels using your existing dish.
You can also select options for a mounting bracket with fixing screws and 20m of cable with connectors if you need them (if you are changing from sky + you can may be able to use one of the two existing cables) .

Will I need a dish or an aerial to use this receiver?
Yes you will require a sky dish to view UK Freesat channels and a small aerial (included in kit) to view Saorview (RTE)

What direction should the aerial be pointed ?
Please click on Saorview Coverage checker here which will allow you to enter your location and show you the correct direction.

Can I use one remote control for Saorview and Freesat channels on one combined channel list?
Yes remote control is included.

Can I record and pause live TV using this receiver?
Yes, this receiver will allow you to pause and also do timed recordings of programs. It doesn't contain its own hard drive though, so you'll need to save the programs on either a USB stick or USB hard drive and we can also supply either as an option above. While you are recording a Saorview programme, you'll be able to watch a satellite channel, and the other way round.

Reviews on the Change from Sky DIY kit with Amiko combo box



10/10  Excellent little box for the price  Box delivered next day. Installation and setup was easy and the instruction send by email were very helpful. Very happy with the result.  (19/12/2022) Paul - Clare


6/10    Fine for a second tv or a kid's room but does not have the functionality in terms of 7 day planner or series link that you can get with a Saorview Connect box. Smart tv box would not accept a return. Was easy enough to set up if you're moderately handy, including aerial in attic. (Get a compass).  (16/08/2022) -
Our Reply: Thanks so much for your review . It is true that series link is available with saorview connect for the Irish channels but only now and next information is available for UK channels as this is controlled by the broadcasters and is the same for every Free To Air box.


10/10  Easiest way to save money on your TV bill   I am very happy with the purchase of this kit. I had the whole procedure done in 1.5 hours including installing aerial at the side of the house. The pre programmed box is a brilliant idea. One piece of advice is to find out the direction and polarity of your nearest saorview mast before installation  (24/06/2022) Kris - Waterford
Our Reply: Thanks for the review Kris and the useful tip.


8/10  Replaced Sky service at 90 e per month!  This box gives most of what you will get from sky today .Easy install, use existig sky dish and cable- plug/play As 90 year old it would be great if they could find a way to combine the EPG.Flicking around can be confusing. The product does what it says and meets my requirements . Happy out .  (12/05/2022) John Mc Laughlin - Inishowen Donegal
Our Reply: Hi John, thanks so much for the review. Unfortunately the EPG is controlled by the brodacasters, so its the same for every free to air box.


10/10  Excellent   Bought this as finally took the plunge and cancelled Sky after 12 years. Arrived super quick and the box itself is that small I actually thought they had given me the wrong one and actually emailed Tony to ask ??. Took about half hour to set up the whole system. Excellent service and product.  (11/05/2022) Tara - Wexford
Our Reply: Thanks so much for taking the time to review Tara


10/10  Could not be simpler  I recently Ordered this kit and within minutes of its arrival had mor ethan enough TV channels to keep the family happy. All I had to do was connect the existing unused SKy cable to the back of the box Plug it into the HDMI of the TV power it up and presto HD TV  (11/03/2022) NEIL MC CABE - Ballyjamesduff
Our Reply: Thanks so much for the kind words Neil.


10/10  Good Value  Just got round to installing this after receiving a couple of months ago. Works very well, great way to ditch Sky without the cost of installation. Really like this package.  (16/01/2022) Brian F - Swords
