2 F5s Skyboxes in 2 rooms.. multiroom?

[Dom29]

Hi all . ive just got myself an f5s box , bought a "gift" for it and it works fine , i want to put one upstairs also , ive tried splitting the cable inside the house using 2 splitters for each input but when one works the other doesnt (sky hd box and f5s box) and i wondered will i be able to go and run a cable from the dish outside or will I need a new dish ?? dont really understand thanks!

each of your receivers should have an independant feed from the dish itself, as you already have an official HD box then you should at least have a Quad LNB on your dish (standard practice) which will leave 2 feeds left for you to feed the 2 x F5's

Thanks for the reply . i currently only have 1 sky hd box can i link up to the dish with 2nd feed?

Yes you can mate.

As long as its got a multi lnb.

[mark8393]

He did say second feed. Most newer sky installed dishes have quad lnbs

thanks thats all i needed to know dish was installed around 18 month ago so surely should be one of the more modern ones.

Dont Worry mate you have an Official HD receiver from $ly which requires 2 feeds so you will 100% have a Quad LNB on the end of the dish

You may have Horizontal and Vertical Polarisation issues on your F5S where certain channels will not appear. Or come up with "No Signal". It may or may not happen just to make you aware. If it does search "No Signal Fix" on here or on Fleabay.

If you are not bothered about watching the same program in a different room, i.e like me only watch one TV at a time you can buy the triax tv link kit

I currently have 3 TV's working from one box, all remotely controlled the same box via magic eye.
Its only me and the missus that watch TV, so it doesnt matter that we cant watch different channels in different rooms.Unless i want to watch the footie, in which case its tough shit

So, is it possible with normal homesharing through lan, using CCcam as server? Sharing my own card from main Skybox receiver to another in childrens room? In other words...anyone succeeded with CCcam acting as a server on a Skybox?
