movin into new place...One! Sat cable is tracked into the wall to living room socket and comes out under the roof tiles...(spot on south facing!)...hence can a splitter be used to one dish for S*Y and the other to a 85cm dish with motor...any help or advice would be greatly welcomed...:-worship

Definitely not.... you cannot use a splitter as signals are being sent up the cable to control the oscillators and control the reception frequency i.e. horizontal high band, vertical high band, horizontal low band vertical low band. You need to swap the lnb for a twin or quad (blank two outputs) and install another cable to second stb

You can use a stacker/destacker to have two separate sat inputs down one cable and separated in the house. Good for Sky+ or just having 2 dishes going into 2 receivers. I don't know if one of the cables will work with a motor though.

Thanks all...Yep doing some readin...looks like stacker/destacker will do 'if cable is good!' also seen 'Spaun' option which might work with loop-through on the STB's.... with 5KY on the 'A' Lnb!
