<p>Hi Leon, </p>
<p>Biggles is on to it! Most major brand TV's like Samsung, Sony, LG, Panasonic will have what is called a "Dual-Tuner" feature which means you can hook up a satellite dish or UHF aerial (or even both if you live in a coverage area) without the need of the box. </p>
<p>The only thing to note from your post, is that a Satellite Dish will not work with a UHF only TV, good rule of thumb is if the TV or device has a twisty connection and not a simple aerial plug in then it will…</p>

<p>Your TV won't work on a Dish antenna. It has a UHF tuner so needs a UHF antenna.</p>
<p>Yes there are new TVs (Samsung and Panasonic I believe) that have both Sat and UHF Tuners. You just need to shop around.</p>
<p>You could also get a Sat Freeview box which would work on the Sky Dish antenna.</p>
<p>However UHF is HD and Sat is SD picture standard so UHF is the best way to go.</p>
