Skybox f5s on same tv as sky hd box

[doormat86]

Hi, Could anyone help, im wondering if I will be able to connect/link my f5s to my sky hd box with only 2 cables coming off the satellite?? Hoping this will allow me to have HDMI 1 as the sky+ hd box, and HDMI port 2 as the skybox f5s. Thanks

any help appreciated, failing that I have a spare cable upstairs in my bedroom connecting to the same sat dish, would it allow me to have my sky HD upstairs F5S downstairs? similar to multiroom?

Connecting this type of receiver to an already existing setup which includes an official HD receiver could invoke the notorious 'No Signal Fix' problem which i would research before you do anything

ok how likely is this? would a no signal fix cable sort this? or would I need to disconnect one box whilst im viewing the other?

As long as the LNB is of good quality and you can configure your Sky HD box for signal LNB mode then it should be fine.
I have had a similar setup in the past and never had problems.

Thanks do you know how I'd see if I can configure it?
