My System: SKY+ with a Panasonic freesat TV
SKY+ and Freesat

Hi
I have just got a manual LNB switch which I have been told will manually switch from Sky+ to my Freesat TV.
There are only 3 connectors on the switch. One to Tv and (A) (B). I have two connectors to my sky+ box. How do I connect the two systems?
Kind regards
Gary

My System: TM6800HD, TM1000, TM600 Linux,TM5200, TM2200 motor, Triax TD110 dish + Fortec 85cm. Meter=Satlook Micro+G2 NIT

Not the best thing to do at all.

Run another cable from the dish straight to the Freesat TV.


If you were for some strange reason determined to use the switch, then conect the Tv one to the incoming cable, then the A to the Sky box 2nd input and the B to the TV.

My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me.

Assuming you only need one feed for the Freesat TV, remove one only of your Sky+ feeds and then connect it to the "To TV" bit of the switch.

Then connect "Cable A" back to your Sky+ and "Cable B" to your Freesat TV.
