Can I use a satellite dish with BT Vision?
We get asked this question surprisingly often, and the answer depends on what question you’re really asking…
Here’s one question, sent in by a visitor:
Q. “I have Sky at present, and my aerial is not the best. Can I attach my Sky dish to the BT Vision+ box instead of a normal aerial?”
- The answer to this one, is no. BT Vision gets live TV via Freeview. Freeview is received via a TV aerial, not a satellite dish. You can’t plug a satellite dish into a BT Vision box – they’re different technologies.
Q. “I have Sky, and I also want to get BT Vision. Will they interfere with each other?”
- Yes, you can have Sky and BT Vision at the same time. ONe uses satellite and one uses a TV aerial, and the two services shouldn’t clash with each other.
