My System: Sky + digibox Laptop
Question Sky dish cables ?

Hello I have the current set up

One Sky satellite with four output signal sockets
One Sky+ box (Occupies two sockets with premium channels)
One regular Sky box (Yet to be connected only used for free channels)

I was wondering in anyone could tell me what cable is used to connect the box to the dish itself and perhaps recommend a particular model or place to buy it from.

The regular sky box will only be used to receive free terrestrial channels not premium ones so I shouldn't have to change my current sky subscription in any way. In case you were wondering I cannot receive freeview in my area until 2012 so this will have to do for the time being.

Many thanks Chris

Welcome Chris,

Best to use double screen coaxial for the connection of receiver to dish. WF100 for example is good quality. Try the site sponsors or of course you can purchase a small drum from screwfix.
