[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 353990, member: 174998"] A stand-alone device that sits between the receivers and the Unicable LNB, performing the necessary translation of control signal protocols would be great, assuming that's what you mean by a "breakout" unit. Any hard info on that? Ideally Sky would offer Unicable support via an OTA software upgrade for all digiboxes. But I just can't see it happening. Call me a cynic, but I think they're more likely to build it into a new product for new installations only. I can't see any business case for them to engage on a programme of swapping out existing LNBs for Unicable versions, and I can't see them wanting to make it possible for their existing customers to do it themselves either - half would probably screw it up and over-burden their support desks. Hope I'm wrong though... I've got several digiboxes scattered about the house, and they're not so easy to come by in my part of the world. 2old [/QUOTE]
