First, to state that I am quite new to this but to say that this seems like a fantastic site to get help from the gurus (or those who have been before)

I need help on:

We cancelled Sky TV, but still have the box and the dish and can get the freeview channels via the box

I bought a WIN-TV Nova-T USB attachment (dongle) and it came with PowerCenema s/w and a littel desktop antenna. all installed ok.

The USB dongle has a coax cable hole (to connect). i do not get any good signals from the desktop antenna.

Question is :

1) Can I connect the USB Nova-T device to the Sky dish outside and will this act as a good reception for freeview signals.

If yes, the Sky antenna socket has this funny screw-on connector, unlike the old coax plug in. is there a adapter you can buy.

2) Does the Sky box power the sky dish. If so then is there a splitter box you can buy that will connect to sky box (which will power) and have a coax connector for the Nova-T used attachment.

Any other tips?

Please help. Thanks
