[QUOTE="mesaka, post: 672478, member: 176060"] Having invested in a new HD TV I am wondering how to populate it with HD material. I do not want to pay for SKY HD so I thought I would go the freesat plus route but I still want to maintain my sky subscription (with accompanying TiVo) for the sport. In addition I live in a house where the cabling for a new satellite feed is very difficult to add. So I am considering the following and wondered if anyone knows whether it will work. I plan on buying a Humax FOXSAT-HDR. This needs two sat cables as an input (it is twin tuner). As I can't easily run a new cable run I will instead invest in a new inverto unicable lnb. At the end of the cable run I will then use the available splitters to feed my old grundig single lnb skybox plus two cables to feed the humax. It seems a neat solution and the least disruptive. However, I am unsure whether the grundig sky box can operate ok with the unicable / splitter. Does anyone know for sure? Alternatively can anyone else think of a better plan? thanks! [/QUOTE]
