I am about to move into a new home that was built in 1997 and has a very large Sat dish typical of that era. The vendors have been there for around 7 years and never have been Sky subscribers but use the disk for Freeview.

I am assuming that I can simply plug in the MYSKY decoder and it should work, but is it worth paying to get a Sky tech in first?

Sky and Freeview are on the same bird, so it should simply be a plug and play scenario, The only thing you will need to check is the LNB frequency....

Plug in and see if works first.

If it needs frequency change can do yourself with decoder settings, and if that doesn't work then get a tech out.

If it doesn't work straight off Sky can probably guide you through the frequency change on phone, (they did that with me on a failing LNB, got just over another year out of it), or someone can tell you here.

See if it works out of the box first.

Edit: It's currently working with freeview, shouldn't be any worries, as mentioned same satellite, just LNB frequency to check if doesn't work.
