HI, new to sky, just got 3months 'free' + installation for £75. being naieve assumed would be able to split the signal between my freesat tv and the sky box in another room but obviously cannot using a simple splitter.

Today bought a Digital & analogue Universal Quad LNB from Maplin. This is to replace the single LNB, before I open the box can someone confirm that all I have to do is replace LNB, will this be reasonably simple if I note the angle of the existing? and then install another cable for the other box.

Apologies if this eems a simple question

regards
 
Welcome,

Straight forward swap over and run new feeds that is assuming the LNb from maplins is designed for minidish mounting and fits onto the dish. They do a SKY LNB Adaptor Clip for this. If so then simple enough fitting :)
 
You need to make sure that the bracket on the dish is suitable for your LNB. The chances are on the sky dish the LNB has an shaft that is inserted into the arm. Your new LNB needs a 40mm bracket. You can buy the adaptor for this also at maplins.

Hope this helps.
 
this one?

I think they sell it to fit either round or $ky dishes... but no mention if it's optimised for the $ky dish

it will work.. there are a lot of cheap quads made for the $ky dish around..
 
Put the thing back in the box and take it back, that is way overpriced (£39.99)for a Sky quad LNB for a minidish.

Try ebay, you can normally pick one up for a quarter of that
 
Thanks for that, yes seen them on Ebay and will be ordering, any more tips or issues to watch put for
thanks to all who replied
 
Pedro, just out of interest the quad LNB I got from maplin ref AO5FT is at 90 degree angle compared to the one in your link, am i able to add a picture on here?
