Sky Q in communal flats

[suecourt]

Will sky Q work using a first generation dish and leads ? I am probably the only person using sky in this building. Have a sky + box but lead is for first generation so only 1 sky channel at once. Of course would cost too much to rewire for 1 flat. I presume it is not possible to use sky if my current box fails.

Late model (2015) 2TB Sky+ HD boxes are about £30 on eBay, and it's perfectly legitimate to purchase one and transfer an existing viewing card to it.
