My System: SKY + | Hi Guys, Newbie so please bear with me. I have SKY +, so im assuming I have a Quad LNB. I want freestat in the bedroom because digital reception in our area is crap. Ive done a fair bit of digging in the forum and believe it is straight forward enough to connect a spare port of LNB via digital cabling to a second free stat box but cannot find a detailed describtion of how to do this (im a dumb ass, I do need one !) Ok so I can buy a regualr sky box from Ebay Does anyone know if a straght forward guide to this exists? I think I could get sky out to install multi room then cancle after the first month. But would be paying £100 + to do this. ![]() Any help really appreciated, Muchos gracias, Fozz | ||

Blog Entries: 5 My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, CubeRevo 3000HDPVR, Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Televes H45 Spectrum analyser. | All you need is the appropriate length of satellite grade cable and two F connectors, you can get both from places like B&Q. This Guide is for crimp connectors, but the method is the same for screw on type F connectors. PS. why not just buy a Freesat receiver from one of the forum supporting advertisers. | ||

My System: SKY + | Ta rolfw, Sounds easy enough. I guess I just need another sky box. Just been looking a freestat receivers. Looks good. I don't subscribe to any premium channels so would be ideal for me. Do love my SKY + though, but I assume can get receivers with hard drives anyway... Cheers fozz | ||
