Well your sky dish will be digital, so you will need a digital reciever input, which im guessing your TV will not be.

I might be wrong though.

freeview or freesat?
If it's the latter, i assume it'd work but freeview requires an aerial not a dish - so no it won't work.

It might be cheaper/less trouble to buy a freesat receiver and just use that. Could probably pick up a second hand Sky box for next to nothing on Ebay.
