    hi folks,

    I have my skydish and wondering based on another thread do I need to change the LNB. At first try connecting cable into TV tuner I got very few channels not sure I have correct Astra settings..Astra 28.2E 10906 V 22000)

    I was going to outsource this but every quote I’ve got with a combo and 7 day EPG is coming in at around 500 quid! Might as well go back to Sky 😂

    Did you have SkyQ connected previously?

    You trying to get Freesat with a Sky Dish set up for Sky Q?

    What you using for a sat receiver?

    Buy your own combi box, and get an installer to change the LNB from wideband to universal.

    early doors on figuring this all out. Taking line from dish straight to back of LG with both tuners. Seeing what I can manage

    I’m serially considering that now. May just get installer to put up Saorview aerial and change LNB at the same time 👍


    off to look for box recommendations now

    Ok if it’s a Sky Q setup you’ll need a new lnb only to run to the LG TV.

    Cheap as chips. Bout 20 quid.
