How to connect 2 tv's to 1 dish

[jaykay4407]

Is it possible to run 2 tv's from the same sdish. I have one tv connected up already and no problem, I want to connect a second and the second tv is nearer to the dish than it is to the main tv.

Do a need a twin lnb? are there any guides here to help me out.
Thanks in advance

easy one that mate just get a twin output lnb and run a new cable to the 2nd tv you will need enough cable some F-plugs and some self amalgamating tape to waterproof your connections if you are careful and dont move the dish you will not need to re-align it. if you get a quad lnb it will allow for more TVs in the future.

So I just need to get a twin lnb and some co-axial cable and a co-ax plug for the back of the second tv, Is that right?

You'll need a sat receiver for each tv(obviously), both hooked up and running off one lnb/dish the way the guys are saying

Firstly, thanks for all replies but maybe I should explain better
At the moment I have a dish that has 2 single lnb's on it, as I recieve into my dreambox 2 different things. What I want to do is connect my other tv (which is much nearer to the dish than it is to the main TV)

I'm not sure though, how the two cable from the two lnb's end up as one cable when they come into the house and into the dreambox. I'm not bothered that I will only be able to change channel on the main tv.

Therefore to get both of the signals from both of the cables do I need to buy a 4 way lnb and, if so, how do I get them to end up as 1 cable into the back of my arial in on the second tv.
Really hope you follow this.
Thanks in advance

Oh and by the way, it's not sky as I am in Cyprus

You just need a four way lnd to replace the one you use the most , so at the moment you have two lnb's pointing at different sats ?

Ok, I have now been on the roof,
I have one dish with 2 lnb's and the cables from these two go to a second dish.
The second dish has 1 lnb (FTA) and the cable from this one (and the other two cables) go into the bottom of a black box 1 cable then comes out of the bottom of this same black box and goes to my dreambox.

I"m still trying to under stand your set up.are you in fact receiving three different sats and feeding the lnb outputs into a diseqc switch? and if so which sat do you want for your 2nd stb and tv.because that is the lnb you will have to change for a twin keeping the original cable going to the diseqc switch and the 2nd going straight to the 2nd stb.
what size are your dishes as you could also consider a motorised setup but I"d have a good read of the sticky section first.

Ok, I have 2 dishes, one of which I know is FTA. This one has 1 LNB
The second dish has 2 lnb's to recieve 'showtime' and 'BFBS' which are satellites here in Cyprus.
All 3 cables go direct into, what I think, must be a diseqc and then into my dreambox in the house at the main TV.
Now here in Cyprus, it gets very warm so we watch TV outside. The TV outside is quite near to the dishes (its a bungalow) and I want, if possible, to take a cable from any of these 3 things that we recieve to the tv outside which has an ariel in.
I want to try and utilise what I have already, as apposed to buying any more dishes etc.
I also have a spare FTA box, that I don't use since I got the dreambox.
Do you think you can help, sorry about being a newbie.
Thanks in advance

could you use a tv signal sender plug one sender into the scart of the dreambox then the other sender into your outside tv scart then you can watch all from your dreambox

Thanks but have tried a sender but can't get a signal I think, through all the conrete

[Hoppo]

As a temporary measure a long scart lead from your dreambox to outside TV or extend your sat cable to outside and move your dreambox outside. You could get a twin LNB on your FTA sat dish and run an extra cable to your other FTA box. If you want all your tv channels you will need three twin LNB’s, diseqc and another dreambox

[psats]

are both box,s used at same time.?
you could just use a splitter or the out from the dreambox
