These sound cards are designed to pair with the right headphones to create the best audio quality your device can achieve. When looking for your perfect sound card, there are three top factors to take into account: audio quality, channels, and connectivity. First, find cards within a nice range of signal-to-noise ratio. If your Sky box is displaying a 'no signal' or 'no input' message, there are some easy checks you can carry out. Make sure your Sky box is on by checking if its power light is green.

Sky users can already access the full range of radio channels through their Sky digibox, regardless of receiver type and subscription. Freesat from Sky users can also access the same line-up of channels.

Unlike DAB digital radio there isn’t scrolling text with additional information, such as the name of the currently playing song or the next programme. General information about the current on-air programme or station is shown.

The audio quality of radio channels on Sky is very good. Older Sky receivers have analogue RCA (phono) out connections so that an amplifier or hifi system can be used to listen to radio channels with the television switched off. Newer Sky+HD receivers and Sky Q boxes have an optical audio output.

Freesat from Sky

Freesat from Sky is a digital television platform which uses Sky set-top boxes to receive free television and radio channels. The service can be purchased for £254 including installation, or a viewing card can be purchased for £25 if equipment is already installed.

As all digital radio stations on Sky are ‘free to air’, i.e. available for free without a subscription, the line-up of radio channels is the same as with a Sky subscription.

There are more radio channels on Freesat from Sky than Freesat or Freeview.
