Hello all
I am looking for some help. Having just moved from a house with a motorised system into a residential block I am now faced with just a bog-standard single feed from the communal dish.
Here is my problem - is it possible to run two Sky boxes from this single input using some kind of splitter? I realise there is multiroom etc but one of the boxes has an Irish card and one an English one so I can't go through the normal channels.
Thanks in advance.
 
You could use either a smart priority or manual AB switch, but you would only be able to use one box at a time.

You could ask the management comittee if there is any redundancy on the multiswitch, then you could either have a second cable run to your flat, or use a stacker/destacker to send thesecond if feed down a single line.
 
There is a way around your problem, you should have 2 dish feeds for sky+ opperation you could use the second to the other reciver asuming you dont want to record & watch different programs at the same time.

Unfortunately the problem is that he only has one satellite feed outlet in his flat. Thanks for trying though.
