[larrymacuk]

I have a sky dish on the side of the house Is there any way I can connect aFreeview box/recorder to it

[ChuckFickens]

No.

You can connect a freeSAT box to it though.

doesn't freeview come down a normal TV aerial?

[ChuckFickens]

Yes, Woolgang.

FreeVIEW is through a normal TV aerial

FreeSAT is through a satellite dish.

Woolgang???

LOL, sorry for making you sound like a group of knitters.

No, Freeview has to be connected to an antenna that receives signals from a terrestial transmitter.
A Sky dish receives signals from a satellite in orbit.

Thankyou for your help I did not know that FreeSat was different than Freeview
