Replacing Sky box with Freeview/Freesat Humax

pedropumpalot · 2022-01-04 23:20:46

Hi all, Is it possible to use a Humax Aura 4K box to pick up the free UK channels using an old Sky dish and cabling assuming the LNB is swapped out for a compatible one? I am based in North County Dublin with line of site up the coast to the North. Thanks

The Aura works off an aerial rather than a dish. What you want is a Freesat box rather than a Freeview box, you may be able to get Freeview in your location. Have a look at your neighbours to see if they have aerials pointed towards the north, they may have two aerials, one for Saorview and one for Freeview, if so you may be in luck.
