Hi. I have an apartment in Lagos & received UK tv through a large satellite dish on the roof. The satellite signal has obviously been disconnected and am now looking at Sky to get uk freeview channels again. I live in Bridgend & am thinking if i take out to Lagos a current Sky box & card will i be able to receive some channels again? Or will the Sky box not work with our satellite dish? It is a newish satellite dish & am loath to fork out large sums again. Your advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You will not get the main UK channels in Lagos, if the sat dish is connected and has not been moved you will still get what ever your Sky package provides plus the many many Freesat channels that are still available. But not BBC etc
If you have a SKY HD box you may still be able to get some of the UK. C5. C4 HD channels.
There is no point paying out any money to anyone what ever they tell you.
