sky+ in poland

I'm told this is possible, but apart from the sky+ box, I will need at least a dual LNB....does a dual or quadruple LNB need an extra cable running from the dish to the receiver? I'm sure it doesn't but a colleague tells me it does, and I want to prove he's wrong!
thanks,

Yes it does need the extra cable from LNB to receiver, unfortunately your colleague is right. DOH. Don't you just hate it when that happens.

lutek you are sort of half right.you dont need the second cable if you dont want to use the record features of your sky+ box. but if you do,then your friend is right you need the 2nd cable

Twag42, Rolf: thanks. If I wanted to record one channel, and not watch another channel, i.e. basically use the machine like a vcr, would a single LNB suffice?
===========
It I switch to a dual LNB, and I opt for the second cable, I understand that there's two dish cable inputs on the rear of the box?
===========
Finally, I'm thinking of getting a sky+ box delivered thru simplydigital...as I'm in Poland, I won't be plugging in a phone line at the rear of the box..does the phone input need to be disabled? I got my current pace box thru a firm in uk which specialised in servicing wannabe sky viewers across europe - they've gone bust and I have no idea if they tweaked this before sending it to me.

cheers, ll
