old sky dish and box

[cdel2005]

hi,
is it possible to receive astra 1 and hotbird through an out of contract sky box and minidish with adjust of the dish?
thanks

Using the minidish yes.

using the old Sky box, possible but really not worth the effort. A Sky box is just shy of useless on other satellites.

The technomate will do the job nicely, assuming its FTA.
