Re: Changing to Freesat

Most TVs don’t have a built in satellite tuner, and not all those that do, have access to the Freesat EPG. A branded Freesat set top box is well worth having for its integration of catch up services and its programme guide, not to mention the ability to record and store stuff offline.

Davut, is there only one cable coming into your house from the dish, or are there two cables? On the junction box inside your living room, is there one terminal, or two? If you’re going for free satellite you might as well take everything it offers, which means you need a twin feed from the dish in order to reliably watch one channel while recording another.

It is a worthwhile investment to get an independent sat installer out to check the dish alignment, install a new multi-LNB on the dish’s protruding arm, and a new pair of cables from the LNB to your living room. It’s a one-off cost that will ensure you get the most out of your new set-top box.
