Sky Satellite reciever is dead :(
Hi,
The Sky Satellite reciever in my Fathers room has stopped working. Tried swapping cables around, etc. But no luck. There is no power going to the box. Would I need to buy a Sky reciever to recieve the Sky channels (His room doesn't have a subscription) or can I buy any Satellite reciever? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks |

If he doesn't have a subscription, then all he needs is a Freesat box.

youve tried the fuse in the plug? But it cd be the switch mode power supply.
Depends what u want to do. A freesat receiver will get all the free to air channels, using same dish. There's both recording types with hard disk, and non recording typeq |

If u hav a sky subscription for encrypted channels, then u need a replacement sky receiver, but the free to air channels can also be got on freesat. Buy one at your nearest Argos store.
