My System: Currently: Sky with minidish in one room |
Hey there! Currently in my house we have a sky minidish which is connected to a standard Sky box in one room. I would like to keep this sky untouched (as we pay the subscription fee for it and use it a lot) but add freesat into another room. Would it be as simple as me changing the LNB on the minidish to a Dual/Quad LNB then obviously having one cable running to my sky box and another to a Freesat HD PVR box? I hope you can get the picture of what im trying to achieve here, any help is appreciated. Thanks, dom. | ||

For the PVR, you'll need two feeds from the quad. | ||

 Ah yes i forgot about that, so theoretically that means i can run a sky box, a freesat PVR, and 1 more freesat box (NOT PVR) unless i have something like an 8 output LNB (which im not sure exist?)? | |||

Just to clarify, I will 100% be able to watch Sky and Freesat at the same time with no satalite moving or anything needed? | |||
