But then the two boxed have to watch the same thing, just as easy to run some Ct100 from the LNB to the new box location, Quad LNBs are dead cheap on ebay but you should already have one.

And yes, sky do support Octo LNBs

i fitted one last week on my day off. the dish was already aligned and all i had to do was plug in the extra cables, just make sure you don't move the dish and you'll be alright ;)

can do it yourself if you know how to use a compass - just requires two people, one to stare at the config screen of the sky box the other aligning the dish.

john - yeah i know they support quads, but just curious if they'd allow 8 or 16 output LNB's. Don't see why not if you pay for the extra viewing cards.


align the dish?? :boggle:

Is this necesary when twiggy already has sky and just wants to add an extra box? :boggle:
