Attaching Sky dish to freeview tuners on TV

[roccles]

My Sky TV package is coming to an end soon and rather than renewing I am thinking of cancelling and using the twin tuners built into the TV (kd-55xe9305) I was told that Sky use different "special LNBs"? and its not as simple as just plugging it in into the TV, has anyone done this recently?

Cheers

It will work fine however, because the TV doesn't have freesat you'll be stuck with the Sony guide, which is absolutely diabolical and practically unusable

Haha, ok so I maybe better off getting a separate freeview box. Thank you

No worries, semantics, but will need to be a freesat box if you want to use the satellite connections. Have you not got a normal aerial you can use? then you can use the built in freeview and youview.

I do have a TV aerial yes, so I was just looking at the TV spec (LINK) and it says

Number of Tuners (Terrestral/Cable)
2(Digital)/1 Analog

and

Number of Tuners (Sat)

2

Do you know if I plug the normal aerial into the TV if I would be able to watch one program and record another via USB?
