Adding a new freesat tv to an existing dish

[nofuse22]

Apologies if this has been done to death before...

I currently have a sky+ box linked to a dish (it is not a sky dish - a local satellite / aerial man put it in as sky were being difficult about the house being very listed...)

I would now like to add a tv in one of the bedrooms... a standard aerial doesn't work as in a valley (hence why i needed to get a dish and sky in the first place) but i don't need all the channels from sky. hence was thinking about freesat - either via a box or a standalone freesat tv.

How do i add a new freesat box to my existing dish?


many thanks

You need to connect a cable to the LNB on the end of the dish, hopefully it's a quad LNB so will have a spare connection, if not you'll need a new LNB.

A new quad LNB is only about fifteen quid.

Finding a TV with in-built freesat can prove a bit more tricky depending on size.
