    Skybox f5s clashing with sky+ box

    Hello, I am wondering if anyone can help me out or guide me as to how to resolve my problem. The satellite cable comes straight from dish into a 4 way splitter as shown174351685_4_wa_satellite_TV_splitter_s.jpgFrom this I take 2 feeds to the sky+ box, then one more feed to my skybox f5s in my bedroom. Now the problem is, when sky+ is turned on I lose most channels on my F5s box, apart from channel 5 and a few others. When i change the channel on the skybox f5s for example to sky sports it then throws of sky+ and comes up on the screen saying no signal. When i turn off the LNB power on the skybox f5s channel 5, BBC 4 and other channels work, Sky sports does not work and most of the other pay to view ones do not work. Would a no signal fix, fix this or is their another problem as I dont really seem to understand what is going on. Also When i disconnect the satellite inputs into my sky+ box all channels on my skybox f5s work, and when i turn off my skybox f5s all channels work on my sky+ box. But i want both boxes working at the same time.

    OH Dear! for one you cannot use a so called 'passive' splitter on a satellite fed it does not work correctly, You need direct feeds from the LNB to each receiver you have.

    ie: 2 feeds direct from LNB to Official Sly + receiver and 1 feed direct from LNB to F5.

    Regards
