Using UPC connection for Humax box

Mgray11 · 2017-11-30 06:26:05

Hey there, I have UPC/VM for internet and a TV port on the wall plug but have not activated their TV. I want to buy a Humax box and was wondering if I could connect to UPC tv port or do I have to install a separate satellite dish? Really just looking for a simple way to get Freeview. Appreciate the help! Matthew

The Humax Freesat boxes need a satellite dish to receive the Freesat channels. If you live in a border area you may be able to receive the Freeview channels via an aeriel using a Humax Freeview box.
