A aerial antenna is used most commonly for off air channels-mainly local channels if you are in a close enough range. Satellite dishes are installed outside and then a receiver/tuner attached to your tv

Can a tv with an internal hd receiver get fta satellite signals?

Yes, a TV with an internal HD receiver can receive Free-to-Air (FTA) satellite signals, provided it has a built-in satellite tuner. To access FTA channels, you'll need to properly align a satellite dish to the correct satellite and connect it to the TV. Additionally, ensure that the TV's settings are configured to scan for available satellite channels. If the TV lacks a satellite tuner, you would need an external satellite receiver to receive FTA signals.


How does a Freeview box work?

You have to "loop through" the aerial. That is - you plug the aerial directly into the Freeview box and then use a short link cable to connect the Freeview box to the tv aerial socket. Most Freeview boxes come with this short lead in the carton. It's easy and obvious how to do this (when you see the equipment) and it enables you to watch existing analogue transmissions until they're finally switched off.


If you have satellite internet can you get satellite tv?

If you can get a signal for your satellite Internet service, then without a doubt, you can also get a signal for satellite TV service AND the other way around also. The one thing you must know is that a no matter what anyone tells you, having both services will require two separate satellite dishes. The same provider that supplies you with Internet service can't provide TV, and vice versa. For satellite Internet, you'll need to use HughesNet, WildBlue, Starband, or Skyway USA, and for satellite TV, you'll need to use DIRECTV or Dish Network. That's why you'll need two separate dishes.
