The Sky dish will work with any receiver, it's just a case of setting the correct lnb lo frequency. Sky dishes with the dual throat are 10.750 and the old single ones are 11.300. 

Easy to change in less that a minute in the settings menu on all receivers.

The Sky dish is fine for any model of receivers but the LNB unit on the front is sometimes not the right one for an open free view channels.
Sky have put a lot of LNB units up with two in one  is not round but oval ,this was done that the old Sky satellite start dropping down in the sky and the and the second LNB was picking this up.
If your LNB is just round  that will work with all free view boxes.
There is a frequently on each LNB that need to be set when you go into the search mode ,Blind search will find most of the LNB setting and will find the D1
But for 20 dollars I can set this up here an all you have to do fit the new LNB that is use to set your channels in the box connect the cable  that will work /
But As you are part of this forum you must have some tech in your fingers to do that .
Happy fro you to come around and show you how is done ,we are at 79 Highbrook way in whatawhata just on the road to Raglan

Thanks Rolf but I did a google search and it did show some models that worked off a sky dish without any change?
I bow to your expertise and ask if there is  any models available that do this?

I will be visiting Hamilton from 13 May as I have changed my book distribution areas so I could call in for a chat maybe?

Regards
Bob

Anyone have an old top box for freeview thats collecting dust?
Thinking about ditching sky and putting freeview on the sky dish, have to convince her indoors that with freeview and intetnet tv we can get all we need for the cost of the internet
Anyone doing this?
