Freesat box

[versatile75]

We have tv with freeview{full signal due soon}
& we have a ex SKY dish {2 cables} if I buy a freesat
box would my dish {tuned to SKY satalite}be ok for this?
if so would it need retuning!!
Thanks for any input Roy

SKY and freesat use the same group of satellites so it should work without any changes to the dish setup.

Many thanks, it's what I was banking on,
I'm off to Currys to check for any deals on offer.

i have had to move several dishes only a few degrees to get the full signal for a free sat tv/freesat box

you might be lucky and get away with not having to move the dish.

the humax is a decent box.
