Hi All.
Have just registered and would like some help.

I used to have Sky Pus but due to retirement decided it was too expensive and cancelled, I still have the Sky Dish and cables.Currently have TV with freeview box through our old aerial (not Sky Dish)

We will be buying a Sony LCD TV with Freeview built in and I wondered if it is possible to use the Sky Dish aerial or will we have to use our old aerial.

Did notice Sky fittings not compatable with old aerial

Many thanks
John

You will have to use the tv aerial cable.

If you connect the dish cable to the Freeview tv absolutely nothing will happen
