Yes, your Sky digital dish is exactly right for Freesat because it
uses exactly the same satellites and signals, only the Electronic
Programme Guide is different.
The official Freesat website should make this clear, but it doesn't
quite do that because of its reluctance to utter the "S" word



It was the insistence on other forums that you needed different leads
than normal or at least you appeared to require more than one lead which
didn't come with the actual machine did read the Freesat site and the
Digitalspy sites and even Moneysavingexpert. Although we had Sky plus I
don't appear to have two cables coming out of the wall and into the box.
I just miss the ability to record and see stuff when I want to and to
series link programs after having Sky plus for several years.
