you will need a twin or quad lnb and run a second coax feed into your second room. your main box controls the dish and the second box watches the same sat the dish is pointing at. regards mdt

so for ex on 19.2e the second box will have the choice to watch that full sat?? will i need to add patches etc to the 2nd box??

using a twin or quad lnb with separate feeds means your second box will pick up the same sat as the first one has sent it too

the second box will need patches for scrambled channels , and probably a c line too to decode some of the channels there

you might get a few ucas channels with patch and softcam , but nothing else apart from fta unless you add a c

The answer that mtd give is probably the best way. However if you were only going to be watching one box at a time you could split the cable from the motor using a two way dc by pass splitter [they cost about 1.99 off fleabay] and add an extra cable run to your other reciever and that way both boxes can move the dish and watch whatever. BUT NEVER TURN THE TWO RECIEVERS ON AT THE SAME TIME AS A POWER SURGE COULD DAMAGE THE MOTOR. So if you are for turning the two boxes on at the same time opt for a twin or quad lnb as Mtd has said.
