Many customers in Greater Manchester decide to end their Sky subscription due to the
ever-increasing prices. Elec-sat Manchester often get asked, Can I use a Freesat box
with a Sky dish? The answer is yes if you have an existing sky+ dish and cables you
simply need to plug them into your Freesat box. Freesat provides over 200 free
channels and depending on your Freesat box, you can also record and use the catch-up
facility, all free of charge.
If you had subscribed to SkyQ then you will need to have the LNB on the satellite dish
replaced with a standard LNB to ensure it is compatible with your Freesat box. Is
Freesat better than Freeview? In areas of poor reception where it is impossible to pick
up Freeview through a tv aerial, then the engineer at elec-sat Manchester would always
recommend installing a Freesat dish and Freesat box. Freesat is ideal if you live within
a poor signal location.
