TV aerials are popular in urban areas. As long as there is a TV tower within less than 50 miles, aerials should do the trick. The ideas behind the two of ways of getting TV are the same, but they get their signals from different sources. Your TV dishes need to decode their signals, but your aerials do not.
Choose one and work around that. All you need for Freeview is a TV aerial. For Freesat, you need a TV dish and a Freesat box. This question is a tricky one! Typically, the answer would be no. You cannot connect your satellite dish to your TV. The signals from satellites are in a different format since they come from such a far place. You need a satellite TV receiver to demodulate the signals from your dish. Now, what if you are not a part of the majority?
Can I connect satellite dish directly to TV? If your TV has satellite support built-in for demodulating, then you can link to your TV. However, this has its pitfalls. No set-top box limits what you can do with your satellite dish.
You can only get the Freesat channels in your area, no free international content. New TV models are more likely to have satellite support, but it is best to ask if your satellite TV ticks off all the boxes. Remember to confirm what the set-up would be if you brought the TV home. In a case like that I would expect to get some signal, but not very much.
The reflector of the dish focuses all the signal into a very small area, so most of the antenna would be unused. If you got any signal it would be just from the antenna pointing the right direction. Of course there would also be the short term problem of keeping the antenna in the right position.
Detach it from the dish. Now, take the clip-on antenna there. The center of the housing antenna should be fixed on the satellite dish. It should be positioned in such a way that the logo of the antenna faces is quite visible on the front. Make sure that you fix it properly, or else it will not function well. Use clamps, position them on the edge of the satellite dish, and take the antenna to the back notch. Reattach the antenna to the satellite dish using screws. Tighten the screws with the help of pliers.
This step is very crucial. Make sure you fix it back properly. Take one end of the coaxial cable and connect it to the outer end of the antenna. Pull that wire inside the house. Connect it behind the satellite receiver. Take it back to where the satellite disk is mounted. Connect the other end to the inside of the antenna. If you have a satellite dish mounted to the roof or the side of your house, it is able to be used as an external television antenna.
This will allow you to receive digital broadcast television signals that are available in your area. You will first need to obtain an amplified clip-on antenna to attach to the dish. Turn off all satellite receivers and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Set up a ladder, then take the antenna up to where the satellite dish is mounted.
