Can you please provide more information?
What freeview set top box do you have? Make/model/ dish or UHF?
How have you connected it?

       Freeview  Receiver is cheap one off trademe GEEOR DS200. Dish is Sky one not sure about LNB ? Specs for Freeview tuner say 950 to 2,150 MHz and Im wondering is this outside the specs of my TV. why Im unable to install it on to the TV ,Cheers.

First mistake is buying something off trademe
you will need to set the LNB settings to match the dish at the very least
