Smellywelshman Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Basically I bagged Sky off a couple of months ago, but of course I still have the dish, box and the freeview channels they provide. Unfortunately, Sky freeview is utter bobbins (you don't even get Dave ffs!!!) so I don't particularly want to use it. What I'm wondering is whether I can use my digital freeview box from the other room and just plug the cable coming from the statellite dish straight into it? The reason I'm asking and not trying is that I've already taken the dish down as we're moving into a caravan (in periwinkle blue!) while I do the house up. I basically want to know whether to put the dish or the tv aerial up on the van roof! What say you?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Freeview doesn't work through a dish I'm afraid. FreeSAT on the other hand may well be compatible. But then you'd need to buy a Freesat box. So you're better off sticking the aerial on the caravan mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Dave isn't on Freesat yet I don't think. I don't have it anyway, but then I have to scan manually for channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smellywelshman Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Thats what I was thinking too bum. Anyone know how to fit u-bolts and a 6ft steel scaffold pole to the side of a caravan with a 2mm thick alloy skin?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdsukautos Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 you can get a freeview card for your sky box just make sure the dish is perfectly level in all directions so you get a good signal old oil drum filled with concrete does the trick nicely to keep your pole firm and stable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
