my ols sky+ box has just died so im going to cancel my subscribtion , anyway can i use my humax 9300 freeview box connected to my sky+ dish via cables that went into my sky box???thanx

No. As you point out, your Humax PVR-9300T is a FreeVIEW box. It runs off a television aerial, not a satellite dish.

To use your dish, you need a FreeSAT box.

See here.

Or (if you don't need the PVR facilities) you can just get a Sky+ box for free on freegle, or near free on eBay, and use that to get Freesat From Sky.

No re-alignment needed. You literally just swap the Sky box with the Freesat one.
