On the weekend we popped over to the house we're buying to take some measurements. I asked the current owner where the aerial is (my preference is cable, but this area isn't cabled).
She said it was "in the loft" which didn't make any sense to me. Yes, I saw the aerial cable running through the loft but figured it was just running room to room. Owner also mentioned there's a dish on the side of the house from their previous owner, but the current owners were on freeview.
Is it possible that the existing dish simply picks up Freeview unscrambled, and then if I hook a Sky box up it will descramble the Sky content? Or is it simply the standard now to have a TV aerial inside the loft, rather than attached to the chimney?
