PostTechnical question for people wot knows about these things

A couple of years ago we moved into a house where the poor fools had obviously had sky tv and left behind a dish and all the cabling.

We have a humax pvr which is just excellent.

I know that there is a humax freesat hd drive available but I also know that you need a dish to receive hd tv.

The obvious question - could I just plug the sky cables into a new humax box and expect everything to work, or is it, inevitably, more complicated than that.

Thanks to anyone that can help.

I'm no real expert on this, but from what I know the actual dish shouldn't matter, it's the receiver box. As long as it's pointed in the right direction the dish should pick up the signal.

I'm pretty sure it's that simple.

Even if it doesn't work right now - finding out what direction it should be pointing and changing it isn't too tricky.
