If the LNB says UNIVERSAL on it, you’re good to go.

I’m considering buying a Humax PVR. Whether it’s freeview or freesat depends: I have a no longer used non-digital twin LNB satellite system. Can this be used for Freesat digital reception? If not, what is the minimum I need?

I have Freesat & cannot get Fiver or Five US are they available on Freesat? I do not have Freesat from Sky just the normal Freesat with a Freesat+ box.

Do you know of a list of channels against multiplex for FreeSAT?

I have two receivers and one satellite dish. I thought I would be able to use a splitter to use both receivers. One works and one doesn’t. On the splitter there is one input and two outputs. One is black and one is red, the red works but not the black. I have two freesat cards, both activated. One televisions receives the satellite signal on the red output, but the other receiver is stating “No satellite signal being received.
What am I doing wrong please?

Thanks

Jacqui

I use a Freesky box, but would like HD without subscription and with recording ability. If I replace the Freesky box with the new £300 Humax recorder, should work without moving the satellite dish? Can I add the Humax Freesat box and keep the Freesky box operational by splitting the satellite feed in the living room – presumably with some splitter box and amplifier? Current signal strength and quality are middle-of-meter

Thanks

Chris
