Please do not use txt spk on the forum - its difficult to read for many of our members and they wond help you if they cant read it.

Yes you wiill need to put a multi output lnb on the dish - and run extra cables.

Sky will happily send him another card - and instantly disable the first card If he wants the same channels on both boxes then he will need to ask for a multiroom card - and have both boxes connected to the same phone line for the life of the multiroom sub.
