    No. You need a Freesat box.

    This is my setup freeview aerial to freesat box rf in
    freesat rf out to 9150 in
    9150 rf out to tut
    freesat scart to 9150 scart
    9150 scart to tv

    this setup works well, if freeview reception bad just switch freesat remote on and it takes over. wanted to know if same setup would work with 1010 seeing it has only 1 scart

    Freeview aerial to Freesat box? Sorry, but I don't see how that can possibly work.

    Agreed, no Freesat box has UHF RF out, the only Radio Frequency input on a Freesat box has to be connected to a lnb on a dish, there is no RF output.

    I think you are confusing RF and analogue scart connections.

    Hard to comment without more info on your kit.

    The Freesat box can be used as the first link in a scart chain to the TV via boxes with 2 scarts. Why you would need this is hard to explain. Normally a Freesat box will deliver digital pictures to a TV via HDMI, no analogue scart or RF connections are required.

    Thanks yr answer most helpful, my freesat runs on a very old Sky box which doesn't have HDMI . think when I get a 1010 will try some sort of rig with scart, would a scart direct from freesat to tv work?

    Yes but will only deliver SD pictures (HD is downscaled). Not sure what you want to do.

    Assuming your TV has hdmi in, there is no need to connect the 9150 and 1010S in any way (nor any advantage in doing so).

    Basically 9150 connects by scart to the TV and is connected to your normal aerial

    1010s connects by hdmi to the TV and is connected to your Sky dish (ideally by two cables).
