sky+ box question
 

Would a sky+ box work with just one cable from the sat dish? Not interested in recording tv or anything just want to use it as 'freeview' seeing as its spare and collecting dust.

Cheers.

yes but the PVR/+ features wont work & btw Freeview is DTT not satellite or cable why cant ppl understand that ?

Re: sky+ box question
 

Thank's for the reply. ;) I'm actually giving the box away to someone who's ordinary sky digibox has died. The 'freeview' option I believe is offered by SKY as does VM - I know its not the Freeview that people think of.

Re: sky+ box question
 

The only reason for the second input is for the dual record function, the box itself works fine with only one feed.

Re: sky+ box question
 

i wasnt trying to have ago, Freeview refers to DTT. on satellite we have free to air (FTA) & free to view (FTV).

Re: sky+ box question
 

No problem :) - thanks once again for your help, its appreciated.;)

Re: sky+ box question
 

no worries fella am glad to help :o)

Re: sky+ box question
 

Freeview is the name of the consortium that provide FTA channels via DTT.
FTA and FTV apply to all three platforms.

Re: sky+ box question
 

true but ppl should realise that Freeview is only DTT & not cable &/or satellite.

Re: sky+ box question
 

Yes but you should realise FTA and FTV are not platform specific and don't just apply to satellite :p:

Re: sky+ box question
 

i didnt say that they were i was just saying that on satellite thats what it is called & not Freeview ;)

Re: sky+ box question
 

I beg to differ.

Re: sky+ box question
 

that doesnt mean that i meant that their only on satellite, note how i never said that their only on satellite ;)

Re: sky+ box question
 

i beg to differ. Freeview(tm) is DTT only however the term "freeview" has been used to refer to "unscrambled" (non rights protected) television LONG before the death of OnDigital (ITV Digital).

Re: sky+ box question
 

try using google then Freeview has nowt to do with satellite &/or cable.
