You shoould still have freeview on the box try menu settings scan or do a factory reset allso in settings

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.

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.
