I recently received my Sky Plus box from Ebay.
Unfortunately I come from the communal dish brigade and only have a single feed. I therefore bought this splitter from Maplin, as mentioned a few threads below -
_http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=9273&doy=17m9
I understand the point about only being able to record from the same polarity, but having connected the lnb feed to the splitter, the DC pass to input 1 and the other pass to input 2, there's no signal on either!
I've tried switching the 2 inputs round, but still nothing. Putting the LNB feed straight in to input 1 gives a signal on that input - so it functions as a normal sky box - but that's not what I was looking for.
I realise I need to contact Sky to activate the Record function - but could that be affecting the signal?
Can anyone who has got a result with this technique give me some advice?
Do I need something like an SPS priority switch?
Sorry or all the questions! I'm determined to get at least something out of Sky Plus!
Thanks
