Hi I have just joined this forum today as I am trying to get info on Freesat generally.
I am technically minded about most things but in the dark with sat systems.
I am thinking of buying a Freesat Humax HD receiver as I am fed up with Sky.
I just have a normal Panasonic Sky Digi receiver at the moment and want HD at some point. My friend has Sky Hd which is great but I simply cannot justify the extra cost outlay at this moment in time.
So I am thinking of buying a quad LNB-fitting to my existing dish so that I can keep Sky ( take card out and have free channels left-plus if Freesat isnt all its cracked up to be id have to go back to Sky) and add freesat to another channel.
I have one cable from existing dish to the box, my main question is (this is where I look a dork lol)
Do I need another cable to come down from the LNB or does one cable transfer all the info and then is split in the receiver box? I know this seems an obvious question but I am a noob at this.
Your help would be greatly appreciated
