Hi,

I have a sky digibox with activated sky card, my dish has a single LNB - it works fine. Am awaiting delivery of another digibox that I will use without a car to receiver Free to Air only. When I connect the new receiver can I just "split" the cable to send the sky signal to the current box and the Free to Air to the new box? Or do I have to fit a double LNB to the dish then connect separate cables to each box?

Hope this makes sense!!

Cheers,

Jack

Fit a quad lnb and run a new cable to the second location.
