Hi,
this has probably been asked before, if so i apologise.

My girlfriend lives in France and currently has an analogue system picking up the astra satellite at 19 degrees (i think ;-)

Is it possible to use her current equipment to pick up channels from sky digital. I realise the dish will need realigning but will the current lnb and box work or will one or both need replacing.

Thanks very much,
James.

An analogue box will definitely 100% not work for Sky digital of that I am sure, the lnb is probably best changed anyhow as they do not last for ever and it may not be a true wide band lnb it is probably best to start again including new cabling.

By the way James welcome to the forum:)
