    as "psats" has said the easiest way is to run a cable from the lnb loop through on your main box to the lnb input on the second although the 1st box must be left on standby for this to work.you can try this set up by putting the 2nd box next to the main one and just use a temporary connection with a short piece of co-ax to check it works ok before installing it properly.
    dont forget you need to use doubled sceened sat cable RG6 or better,NOT tv co-ax.

      Ok everyone, I have now worked out the following.
      I have decided to run cable from the dreambox inside to the tv outside, I have tested with rca plugs I think that's what they're called (red white & yellow) from the dreambox to the same on the second tv and this works fine on a short run.
      I have also tested rca from the dreambox to a modulator and then co-ax from the modulator to the second tv, again, on a short run this works also.

      So my question now is, which do you think would be best for a 30 metre run?

      What would be the best cable to avoid too much loss of signal.
      Thank you all in advance
