      no freeview on these boxes, Free To Air only which is basically channels associated with BBC and ITV plus a few minor channels like shopping etc.

        ok question for you if you will,my dad is on freesat with sky at the min but hes been asking me to get him a freesat recording box would this box work that way,either through the sky dish or would i have to fit another dish to pick up free top air channels which are listed here?



        thanks in adavance

          The ex5100 is a cable tuner box ie will only work off cable feed like VM
          FTA channels from VM cable are very few and most people have dumped their old boxes as they are pretty much useless now.

            yeah eurovoxs only have the basic of basic channels, a freeview box offers more channels, they are not worth having now

              you should be ok with your existing dish but you will need a new dual lnb fitted to the dish in order to use the recording facility of the box.
