Hi - I have S*y+ installed ( not sure if im allowed to say the service provider! ) Anyways.... The dish has a quad LNB and has 2 cables running from it to my + box in the house.

The cable is very thin ( cooper is not as thick as normal coax ) and so im not getting a signal when I connect it to my dreambox.

Question 1: Should i be getting a signal ? When i plug another coax cable in from anotherdish i get a signal....

Question 2: There are 2 inputs left in the LNB - For talks sake, If I was to put a cable into one of the inputs in the LNB and connect it to my dreambox, can I run the dream box and +box together ( would be on different AV inputs on the tv)

Would this be safe enough?

Why u may ask, i want to test stuff

Thanks

1. If the sky box gets a signal, the dream box should 2, but if the cable is the problem replace it, cant think of a reason why it would work for one and not the other

2. Yes this is fine, you could even run 2 boxes as well as sky+ or 2 plus boxes.
