Sorry, I read it as if you were asking if that would work. As it doesn't work, the box is now irrelevant. You don't need a 'sky' box but a 'sky' box such as the one @Originunknown has offered will work. Any HD freesat box will work. If that was the one that no longer works due to SD being taken...

It's not an HD receiver.

Sky uses the Astra satellite. If you go down the street and look at where the dishes are facing they'll all be pointing the same direction, unless someone is picking up channels from diff satellites to perhaps watch the football or something. 😉

This was one of those occasions where I was hoping someone would say I was wrong, especially as I don't use a sat dish anymore, It's there for back up now! @Papak just type into Amazon via NSC link 'hd freesat receiver' there are loads and you can record on some. (y)

Free to air channels is what is known as 'Freeview' & you need an aerial. Freesat is via a sat dish which is what @Papak has and it's called Freesat, you don't need to pay or get any cards, you just need a Freesat (HD) receiver and a dish pointing at the Astra satellite which I think is 28.2...

If it's an HD receiver box, it will work. You don't need a 'sky' box you can just get a HD sat box from anywhere.

Yes, you should be able to as long as the box is HD. I didn't even know that SD had been turned off! :unsure: Have you just tried rescanning your old box? Channels occasionally 'move'. Edit ignore the channel moving bit, as long as the box is HD, it will work. .
