Zgemma S2 required satellite cables

[blacky1973]

Not sure if this is the correct place to post but I'm thinking of getting a Zgemma S2 box, however upon watching a few different videos and reading a few guides all show/state that the cable from the Sly dish as two connector ends on it which then plugs into the 2 connectors on back of box, the problem is the cable from my dish only has the 1 connector on it so would I still be able to use the box and get its full potential out of it.
thanks

when you say "full potential" I gather you mean to record one channel whilst watching another. It's quite simple to do, you'll need to change the lnb on your dish from a single
feed (cable) output to a Quad (4 feed ) lnb & then run a 2nd cable from the dish to the box. I gather this is a sky dish. You'll then be able to record a channel while watching another, that is providing you have installed a suitable external hard drive to allow recordings to be saved to.

Or instead of getting a Zgemma 2s (twin tuner) get a Zgemma S (Single tuner) which only requires a single sat cable feed and therefore cheaper, does everything a 2s does, other than you can't record one channel and watch another channel at the same time.
