Sky Dish work for TV without skybox

Teddy455 · 2011-02-10 19:22:51

I have a sky dish and sky box but have no sky viewing card. I want to know if the wire for the dish in the wall which is plugged into the sky box can be plugged into the TV without having to plug into the sky box? I have a Sony Bravia KDL-32S3000

According to the spec on Sony.ie that TV does not have a satellite tuner (DVB-S or DVB-S2) so you cannot connect the dish directly to the TV.

You can, however, use the sky box without the card to watch Free-to-Air channels.

First five channels in the EPG will default to the London region:

101 BBC One (London)
102 BBC Two (England)
103 ITV 1 (London)
104 Channel 4
105 FIVE

A Skybox will get ALL the free channels, but some need added in "other channels".
A viewing card reduces the number of UK channels!
