I think I am going to get a freesat recorder as have nothing at the moment
connected to tv, either that or digital recorder. Would I need another line from the dish if I got the freesat one, only have one line coming through to tv at moment. Whichever one, presume just connect and tune, am useless at these sort of things so trust that is all you have to do.
If you already have a Sky dish and cable then you can just plug the cable into your Freesat box and it should work with no changes (assuming nothing else is using the Sky dish at the moment)
