connecting 2 sky boxes to one dish

[montaay]

hey....ok so....i recently got sky+ and the technician kindly left me my old sky box....

so i was wondering.... how do i go about connecting the old box to the satellite dish? just for the free view channels... nothing fancy!!

i have no clue about technical stuff so keep it simple! lol

thanks!

thanks! but whats a coax? and will i know what the lnb is when i see it or will i have to go searching for it?

coax in this case is satellite cable.

Measure how much you need and you can usually buy just what you need from ebay, plus you'll need a couple of f connectors.
