    moving house

    hiya peeps im moving house and the new house has a sat dish but the sky cable only goes into the living room i have a dreambox 800hd a dm 500s and an openbox im just wondering if a can get these working in other rooms by using some kind of magic eye or anything else? i basically want boxes in a few rooms but i dont want to run sky cable all round house ha is this possible?

    thanks craig

    no, each tuner requires its own feed from the lnb on the dish, so use a quad or octo lnb and run single or twin-shotgun coaxial cables to each room you are going to use a box in

        if its just a standard $ly dish then buy a quad LNB as stated by ramjet and the quad will just fit in the place of the single if that is what you have up at the moment, just make sure you get the correct type quad as the recent ones only fit Raven & coverpress dishes where the LNB just clips on over the top. Older style $ly dishes have a push in slot connector so you may need an adaptor
