    Typically, you'll need to get another run of coax between the LNB and your F5.

    The only other option is to unplug one of your Sky HD feeds for your F5. In doing so, you'll only be able to watch one channel at a time on the Sky HD box - no recording a 2nd channel at the same time.

            They're PayTV channels - of course they're scrambled. You can't just connect a satellite box up and get free Sky Tv.

              You cannot run both receivers from the same LB at the same time read this here: http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...signal-334336/
