is there any way to use the sky + hd recding with out paying sky £10 per month

i had sky but keeped losing my signal because of leaves on the trees and as much as i want to chop the tree down

there are about a 100 of them so they canceled my services and refunded me and gave me a free freesat card to use with my box

i use there broadband at home

i would like to use the recording function on the sky box with out having to pay sky £10.25 pm

if i have to pay them £10.25pm i might as well go and buy a pvr

and i cant get virgin where i am thanks in advance
