Freesat HD

hopefully a simple question! I have sky plus, if I get a HD freesat box do I need to recable or can I use the existing two cables from the sky dish?

Re: Freesat HD

Do you mean that you wish to use the two systems side by side, or to replace Sky+ with Freesat?

Each tuner (two in a Sky+, two in a Freesat+, one in a standard receiver) needs its own feed from the dish.
