Splitters on Sat are a none starter.


If you have Sky + chances are you have a quad lnb already. Just run another cable from the dish to your F3. Some of the lnb's have a sliding cover that obscures the view of the conneting sockets. If the end of cable fittings appear hidden the cover will slide up to reveal them.

your going to need the inline diode fix for the F3 to connect both at the same time

Not at all. You cannot split a satellite signal like you can with cable (V*rgin) or DVB (Freeview).

Every feed must be direct to the lnb unless your in a communal block of flats.

The No Signal Fix is a voltage fix csused by some some conflict between horizontal and vertical frequencies. (An thing more on this is beyond me).

What type of LNB do you have on your dish at the moment? How many connectors does it have on it?

Is it a $ly dish (wider than it is high) or almost circular (slightly higher than it is wide)?

You can see that this is a quad lnb.

...but both types of dish are oval. That's why I asked whether it's the width or the height that is longer.
