Sky digibox - cable question

HI

I've just rcvd a free sky panasonic digibox via freecycle. However, it has no leads and I'm not sure what leads I am going to need to buy - can anyone help on this please?

I assume I need a power lead, a lead to transfer signal from digibox to the TV and a lead to feed signal from satellite to digibox (I think there is a cable fitted into the house I will be moving too for this last cable).

I hate cabling and always seem to end up buying the wrong ones.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

    Hi, you'll need a scart lead to connect digibox to tv, and a mains cable to connect digibox to plug into mains socket. Also if you've got a satillite dish cable that needs to be connected to the digibox too.

    Hope this helps.

    You will also need a Sky card to access all programmes.
