Can I use my ex-contract sky digital satellite receiver to get Freeview channels
You can get the following Freeview channels on with an ex-contract digital satellite receiver (once it is connected). Items marked with a star require either a Freesat from Sky (fSfS) card, or a expired Sky subscription card to view.

erica: No, you don't need to change the LNB. Just power off the Sky+HD box, take out the satellite cables and the HDMI to the TV set, and then plug them into your new Freesat+HD box and off you go.
It takes less than five minutes to do.

Thanks for your reply Briantist. Would you know if it is possible to connect a freeway receiver to my iMac via USB in the same way the Eye TV DVB-T can?

george : The card provides access to Sky3, Fiver and Five USA only. You can get another by calling Sky on 08442 411 602.

Hi.
I've just moved in to a new property. I have an LCD tv with built in freeview. There's no aerial in the property but there is a sky dish on the wall with connection lead into the house. No box, previous owner took this with them.
How do i get freeview channels using the sky dish?
Many thanks.
Gary.

Gary - You won't - Freeview reuires an external aerial. You could opt for a "Freesat" receiver - available from most radio and tv outlets and some multiples Argos, Comet, John lewis, ets and connect to the existing dish cable feed to your propert. Otherwise subsctibe to SKY.
