You don't ask a question. The answers might include giving up TV and saving the licence fee, getting a better aerial or getting Freesat. The latter works 100% except in very heavy rain if set up properly and no marginally high trees growing rapidly on the path to the satellite.

You need to move to a less pikey area. Works perfectly here.

So Freesat works 100% of the time, except when it doesn't?

And except near the equinoxes when the sun lines up behind the satellite and swamps the LNB

OK, that was ambiguous; I mean that all the channels will work, unlike the OP's Freeview.

I wasn't aware that TV was used during the daytime.

It has to be incredibly heavy rain to lose signal. It also fails briefly for about 10 minutes mid-morning when the active sun is in the same field as the satellite for a few days around the equinoxes too.
ISTR It lacks a couple of channels that are on the TDTV.

Talking Pictures and Vintage have been available on the freeview platform for some time.. Some who have invested in HD equipment may be annoyed that CH4 HD left Freesat in February along with ability to access The All 4 catch up via a Freesat box.
We have both here but too be honest don?t watch enough TV that a missing channel would be an issue, Half the stations would be stuffed without WW2 archive film endlessly recycled to fill the schedule.
A couple of brands of TV often have a satellite tuner built in even though that feature hasn?t been promoted,
LG is one ISTR , the give away is a F style connector mounted on the back ,connect to the LNB of a dish and dig into the menus those who have such a set may find they can get FreeSat quite a bit cheaper than that may have thought.

Can a Sky-installed dish be connected to a Freesat decoder (eg after the initial Sky subscription has expired or if the original subscriber has sold their house to someone else) and receive all the non-encrypted, non-Sky-specific channels, or does Freesat need a different dish/LNB?

We had a Sky dish installed years ago, for 'FreeSat from Sky'. We now have it connected to a Humax box, and it works perfectly.
