[QUOTE="Penners, post: 605983, member: 306576"] I'm a non-techie!! I'm staying with an English friend in southern France. He receives UK TV via a large dish and a Sky Free-to-air account. The dish is over a metre in diameter and appears to have a twin LNB. My friend wanted to be able to record TV programmes to a hard-drive recorder, so he bought himself a Sky Plus box. However he has subsequently discovered that, in order to use this, he would have to have set up a Sky subscription account. He doesn't want to do this. So at present he receives the free-to-air Sky service through the Sky Plus box, but the slot in the box marked "Interactive card" is empty. Having given you the background, I have a question for you satellite TV experts, please. 1. If he bought a Humax Freesat PVR box instead of the Sky+ box, is his dish likely to be pointing in the right direction to receive Freesat channels? How can I find out which satellite he is currently receiving from? Any thoughts and advice would be much appreciated, please. [/QUOTE]
