Satellite dish into TV Box

chrishall57 — Sat, 04 Feb 2023 06:30:52 GMT

Just discovered that I can use my redundant Sky dish and input it directly into my TV to pick up loads of Freeview channels.

What gadget would I need to take my satellite dish signal and convert it into something that my 4K box can use so I'm not relying on my TV aerial?

Just realised there's a difference between Freeview and Freesat, so really can I convert a Freesat signal from the dish into a signal running via Coaxial cable to the 4K box, assuming it can work with Freesat.

The 4K box doesn't have a satellite tuner, so it can't be done I'm afraid.

Ferguson is correct, our 4K Box can only receive freeview signals from a terrestrial aerial.
