Not sure if this is possible but appreciate any assistance:
As opposed to the UHF aerial straight into the LCD TV antenna in, can I plug the UHF aerial cable (with approp adapter) into one of the unused (4) inputs in my MySky box ?
If so then once done, what are my next steps to allow me to also view (AND RECORD on the MySky drive) the Freeview channels along with the digital Sky channels I already get ?
Eg I want to record ChoiceTV programs currently unavailable via Sky in my area, but viewable (but nor recordable) via my TV builtin Freeview via the UHF aerial.
My Samsung LCD HD TV doesn't have the USB recordable function which would be a simple resolution.

NB. I have the separate ASM6311 'RF modulator' little blackbox provided by Sky with an unused "Antenna In" port if that can be used to provide a solution ?

Many thanks

If you are looking at ways of recording Choice on your MySky, you only have to wait till September 1st when it is been added onto Sky basic.

I don't know much about Sky, but I'm presuming there is no way of getting the box to receive the Choice TV service that is currently being transmitted FTA from Optus D1, right?

Spyware: Not possible.

Sky is satellite and requires a satellite dish. Won't work with UHF antenna.
Freeview UHF is terrestrial and requires UHF antenna. Won't work with a satellite dish.
