motorised dish and sky

[stephent]

wonder if you guys can help?

I currently have a technomate 5200 super and a motorised dish. I am also having sky installed on sunday (it was free).

so my thinking was to have the sky installed in the bedroom and leave my technomate downstairs.

However will the sky box be ok running off the motorised dish with duel LNB?

I wanted to avoid having to dish's up on the house really.

You will have to have two dishes, Sky won't install on a motorised dish. Also the Sky box won't work properly on a motorised dish.

It is best that sky and motorised are kept apart.

You could, like you say run the sky box from the motorised dish with a dual lnb.

After the installer has gone run the cable your self

But then you loose the choice of watching both at the same time, unless its 28.2e

Well its on 28.2 most of the time ,so that shouldnt be an issue.

I know a sky box wont run a motorised dish, the technomate would be running it. In reality my dish is on 28.2 the majority of the time.

Would the sky box encounter any problems running off a motorised dish? I wouldnt forsee any as it would just be like getting a weak signal some of the time?

You are running the cable from a dual lnb, so the sky receiver won't have a connection to the motor. So no problem there. But it will be a pain in the arse, at least that's how I look it. A tiny 40cm dish for sky isn't gonna be a problem is it?
