    freesat dish

    Hi guys, looking for a little advice if I can, I have a humax Hd box, I finally got round to plugging it in to try (after 2 years Sat in its packaging) and I get no signal, I had it connected to the sky dish that's been on the side of my house for years, the oval mesh type. The box has 2 inputs, which I fitted a jump lead to try out. I was planning on a dual lnb anyway but am I better off replacing the dish too. I didn't have the box on very long as I'm a little paranoid with the manual saying the receiver could be damaged, is this correct, and a common thing?
    Many thanks
    Steve

    If I was you I would get a new Dish with a twin lnb fitted ...... and should not cost that much to buy.

    hi gazers right new dish with two lnb outputs plus 2 cables so you can watch channels on one lnb wilst recording on second lnb my free sat is on a motored dish so i can watch non freesat channels on astra 19 east aswell as 28 east if you only have one lnb and one cable you can only watch and record same channel no point doing that hope is is useful cheers forgot to say you can connect your sky dish plus cable into one input and it should work but really splash out on a new dish twin lns

    Ok thanks for the advice guys, I'll look out for a new dish and dual lnb. I'll search for channel info on astra too, maybe worth my while splashing out a bit more cash if there's some good channels on it. Thanks again
