Hi
I have a pace PVR 2 sky+ box of which the hard drive is beginning to fail.
If i bought the PVR 3 could i just connect the leads etc from my old box to the new PVR 3 |

Hi
Thanks for the email. if you are just replacing the PVR2 with the PVR3 then there is no issue. If you are looking at transfering the information then that is a whole other ball game I`m afraid!
Hope this is good news.

I have just moved into a new house which had Sky, previous owners have left the dish. Can I connect the PVR 3 Sky+ box (or similar) to the dish and receive the 4 Main Channels or Freeview channels, without having to pay a monthly fee to SKY? |
Response
A sky dish cannot be used for reception of terrestrial TV signals. For one thing the frequencies the dish is designed to receive are way different to TV.
Second a dish will have a LNB on it. this picks up the satellite frequencies and converts them down to a different range of frequencies to feed the satellite receiver. So it is tuned to reject anything other than satellite signals (which include terrestrial TV frequencies). Plus it requires a power source. No satellite receiver = no power = no output from LNB.
So the only option is to install a proper TV aerial I`m afraid
