Can I use an old Sky dish to get the Freesat channels on my new television which has Freesat built in.

I use a normal sky minidish and a tripod.  However, I always peg it down with a few pegs and those rubber peg strap thingy's.

I've never been able to fit the dish to the jockey-wheel, as we've never had the van facing the right way to do it!  so the tripod is handy.

I would also recommend buying an extra coil of cable for emergencies, one camp site in Wales we went to, the dish had to be about 40 metres away from the van because of a huge mountain in the way!

Hi Leebo

Just noticed this post, must have missed it at the time. Did you get your Sat sorted for the van in the end?
