Sky HD and Freesat
Wed, Aug 17 2011, 9:27AM
Can Sky HD and Freesat share the same dish set up or do you require a seperate dish for Freesat?
I`m thinking of buying the Samsung UE46D7000 T.V. which has a freesat tuner built in to the T.V.
I already have Sky HD, so was wondering if it was possible to run seperate cable/cables from the Sky dish balun to serve the freesat tuner in the T.V.
I would be very grateful for any advice.
Yes, you can use the same dish. Just a case of running additional cabling to your freesat TV. Sky fit quad LNBs as standard so you should have two spare outputs if you only have the 1 Sky+HD box, but if not you'll need to change the quad LNB for an octo.
