We have a communal dish in our flats supplied by Sky, is it possible to use this for Freesat? I have no idea about what to do. I don’t want to spend a fortune on Sky and Freesat offers all of the channels I want. There is no cable installed between the dish and my flat. Thanks.
Yes you can use the Sky dish for freesat.
You can either buy a Freesat TV or a Freesat receiver.
A second hand Freesat receiver can be bought for £50 on ebay, plugged straight into the sat cables coming out the wall and straight into the TV. Once you’re set up there is no additional costs or subscriptions.
