Sky Dish

[Doomingdr]

I have a sky dish on the side of my house. After looking for the cable run from it I notice the 1) there are 2 cables running from it 2)the cables have been cut.

If I want to rerun these's cables to another part of the house do I need to use bother cables when using the dis.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure what the last line means but if you mean can you make a join to the existing 2 cables then yes, with the use of 'F' connectors and 2x barrel connectors you can extend the cables where ever you like

Yes, I was asking if i had to use both of the cables or it only 1 was need. Not sure what was on my mind then.

one cable for each tuner in the satellite box

if its a sky plus hd box you can set the box to single tuner mode and use one cable, or if you have a twin tuner box use both cables like a standard sky plus HD box uses

so if you had a single tuner box in the bedroom, use one cable of the two (any will work)

The 2 feeds are for a dual tuner receiver if you only have a single feed receiver the you only need the one feed

So by using both cables then are we saying that 1 cable could be routed to say the front room and the 2nd feed to the bedroom?

If you so wish yes

there will also be 2 spare feeds from the lnb on the dish itself, which can also be utilised too (a quad lnb = 4 feeds)

Ah yes I think thats the question I should have asked the lnb has the cables, however before they enter the house they have been cut. But i get the idea behind it. Thanks to you both for your input it has helped me to a point on decided which option to take.
