Can I hook my DVB-T DVD Recorder up to my Sat Dish?

    This may be a stupid question (or not :) ) But I just got a DVD Recorder from Boffer.co.uk, it was supposed to be analogue only (at least that's what it appeared) but it turns out it also has a DVB-T receiver as well.

    If I splice off a signal from my Satellite dish (I've got Sky+) will I be able to tune in the Freeview channels (BBC etc.) on is that incompatible?

    Thanks you!

    No. Satellite signals use DVB-S decoders not DVB-T decoders.

    In addition, the DVB-T tuner is not compatible with RTE's digital transmission.

    No? What will RTE be using?
