My System: Tevion mini satellite dish |
hi im new to the world of satellites as I have cabe tv but I resently installed one of those tevion mini satellite dishs. But after I installed it, it seems that the majority of channels are scrambled including channel 4 and 5. I was wondering would I be able to hook up a freesat reicever to the existing dish if so is the goodmans HD version any good as they are selling one for £70 at my local currys. any help wuld be apprciated, thanks in advance Boney | ||

My System: Mostly gathering dust cos there's no room for dishes here... :( The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | Simple answer is yes, you can use a freesat box in place of your Tevion receiver...  I would avoid Currys if I were you for the moment as they seem to be forcing customers to pay for for installation of boxes on existing dishes or they refuse to sell the box to you, so try Argos or something instead... | ||

A Freesat box would not give you channel 5 either. £70 is a good price for a HD Freesat box I think. Obviously, stand your ground, and don't pay for installation. | |||
