    Humax hd box and old sky dish, but want more channels ?

    Hi guys, as in title, got a humax hd box and run it on an old sky dish, all working fine.

    Now as we all know the freesat tv at the minute is sh*te, is there any way of getting lots of other channels (english or otherwise and other content ) and more importantly FREE !!

    I know theres motorised dishes etc just wondered if theres anything to be got with my existing set-up ????

    Thanks guys n gals

    I think you are probably wasting your time with your present setup , apart from what you are already getting

    that is my opinion anyway , and nothing is for "free"

      if you had a cable feed then i would have mentioned kryptview 780 no sub,but as ram says thats about all your going to get with what you have free,mention funds and a new box opens the gates a lot wider.

          aha,see what a question pops up ,a vm feed should work into the coaxial input which now be an f connector,you will also need a lan/internet feed for decryption of channels.no funds needed as its all paid for when you buy this box.
          sat you would need a hd box as most are now hd,or if you want to record a twin tuner which would need 2 cable feeds from your lnbs from dish,to open all the channels to view you would have to card/share [ use google ]make a payment monthly or whatever to them.
          card sharing is a taboo subject not talked about here in this forum.

          most important bit all new boxes need a lan port to work.
