    If they're 2 satellite cables, don't worry - just connect one! The second isn't needed for Freesat!

    The two cables were required so you could watch one channel and record another on your Sky box. Presumably your TV doesnt have such functionality and so will only need one satellite feed if it has a build in freesat tuner... if it doesnt have a freesat tuner then both cables will be of no use to you.
  • You had sky. Have you got a freesat box ? Have you got a working aerial? 
    Those cables will be redundant unless you are intending on getting Sky again or Freeesat

    Why not?
    I have a sky box which works fine without any payments being made and still receives all of the 'free to air' channels.
