I don’t have anything like that. Bit of a technophobe and since COVID haven’t been able to get anyone round to fit anything. I may have to eventually cave in and get Sky, though as I’ve realised that buying DVD’s is counterproductive to my attempt to reduce my use of plastic.

Sky Arts is now available on Freeview - channel 11.

It's on Freeview Play not Freeview.

Tried to find Sky Arts on our Freeview (channel 11) this weekend as a friend's daughter was on Portrait artist of the year. Not there ! Then googled it and found that it was on FREEVIEW PLAY.

In the end they sent me a link to YouTube.

I did find Sky Arts on VIMEO. You can have VIMEO for 30 day trial. There are a lot of art, music, lifestyle programmes on that including Sky Art.

I'm now thinking of buying a more up to date HUMAX recorder that will have FREEVIEW PLAY on it. Lots more choice than FREEVIEW.
