I have an old Sky+ box [NOT HD]. No viewing card. I live in a flat that has a communal satellite with a single feed. I am able to watch the freeview channels when I connect to a normal set top box. However, when I connect my sky+ box [dish input 1] I am unable to view even the free to air channels. The Sky+ box throws error 29 - No signal.
My queries are:
1. Do I need a sky viewing card to view the free to air channels?
2. If I dont need a viewing card, do i need to have both the Dish Input connected to view the "free to air" channels?
Please note: I am not interested in recording of any sort. I only want to watch the free to air channels on my sky+ box [I know I can watch them using the freeview box]; so as if I change my mind later on I can buy a sky viewing card to view free to view channels offered.
3. Would there be a possibility that my sky+ box is damaged / faulty?
4. If I need to split the feed compulsorily to view the channels, both free to view and free to air, then will there any disruptions to the quality of viewing. I am least interested in recording.
