Can i change my sky tv dish to a freesat receiver?

We have a satellite dish receiving Sky. However I would like to change to Freesat. From what I have read online this should be quite simple, however I read something about either the dish being digital or analogue may have a implication to wether the dish needs to be moved. Is this still the case? If so I have no idea how to tell what type of dish it is? Also how much is reasonable to pay for freesat with about 500 gig capacity hard drive. Thank you in advance.|||There are no analogue dishes any more, the dish is definately digital or you won't be able to view Sky who stopped the analogue sevice over 10 years ago





There is no need to move the dish and is just a straight swap with receivers





A 500 gig capacity hard drive will cost 拢160 upwards|||The dish is compatible with both Sky/freesat broadcasts and will not require moving.


www.satbuyer.co.uk/freesatboxes. If you are upgrading to a freesat+ box which is capable of recording programmes ? do you already have Sky+? if so just do a straight swap box for box.


If not you will have to replace the original single LNB ( low noise block) that is the lump on the end of the dish arm, with a twin/quad LNB as the freesat+/sky+ boxes have 2 tuners each requires a cable feed so that you can watch one channel and record another which means you will need to have 2cables attached to each receiver . I suggest you get the4 way Quad LNB in case you want to expand your system in future
