Both come from the same satellite and the only real difference is the box used to receive it. Freesat from Sky is, naturally, received by Sky's own box and "normal" Freesat is received by "Freesat compatible" receivers, which allow you to view 7 day EPG.In reality, any receiver can be used to receiver Freesat, including Vu+ Duo. A non-Freesat receiver would simply not give you the full EPG - just the Now and Next info. However,  he Duo is a very flexible receiver and can be configured to receive Freesat's 7-day EPG.  The vast majority of channels are FTA (Free-to-air) - that is, they don't need a card or a CAM. In fact, I am struggling to think what extra channels are decrypted by the Freesat from Sky card these days.</blockquote>
