Question Can I use my amstrad DRX300 as a DVB box with no dish conected

Sorry if this is not the right place to post but I want to know one way or the other if my Amstrad DRX300 box can be used as a DVB box without it being connected to a dish.

All I get on the screen is "No Satellite Signal Being Received"

Now I have a really nice digital aerial I would love to connect it to and make use of my old box as a DVB box but I can not work it out.

To loop-through the TV antenna and to add the sky box's output to the TV via RF...
