Sky box for Freesat
Hi everyone, Im new here. I was given a huge flat screen TV and a Sky Box HD by a friend who went back to USA. The TV worls great on my standard TV areial and has Freeview built in.
I don't have satelite dish but I'd like to receive Freesat for the extra channels it has. I don't want a subscription to anything, just whatever services are free.
I'm not clear on couple of things that you experts might be able to help with.
1) I can walk onto our roof and fix the dish myself easily, but will any dish work with a sky box?
2) The sky box has two inputs for TV ariel cable, but do I need to run two cables down the side of the house for the sky box?
3) If I align the dish to Astra (145.6deg magnetic - I checked already) how do I know I'm not picking up Astra and not another satelite?
4) I would also like to receive TV from Brazil, but that's not on Freesat. Should I buy a motorised dish to tune to another satelite? If so what dish should I buy for that?
Thanks, Richard, North London, UK
