Openbox

[Bigstevie67]

Can I use 2 openbox units with just the one satellite dish?
Do i need to use 2 routers?
Is it just a case of adding a new cable to the dish and plug and play in another room using the loop?

Sorry for questions but I'm not that bright with gadgets 😱😳

1. you need 1 dish with 2 lnb
2. 1 router 4 ethernet connection

1 dish with a cable going to main box with Ethernet and another cable going to other box ( in other room )?
Will both work ok like multiroom?
If so I'm chuffed that will work 👌

Can I use 2 openbox units with just the one satellite dish?......YES
Do i need to use 2 routers?...........NO just one
Is it just a case of adding a new cable to the dish and plug and play in another room YES but no loop

Sorry for questions but I'm not that bright with gadgets 

One cable to each box from the same dish
One internet connection to each box from the same router
And most of all One magic part for each box

Hope this help's don't ask about the magic part if you don't know what it is........Google it

I'm still baffled tho!
I need an ethernet from the router to both boxes?
One's downstairs and the other is going up in a bedroom.

yes you need two Ethernet connections from the router the first Ethernet connection to go from router to the box in the bedroom and another connection from the router to the box downstairs, also you will need two cables from the dish the first cable to run from the dish to the box in the bedroom and the second cable to run from the dish to the box downstairs. If you are only planning to use the box to view Free to air channels then you will not need the Ethernet cables.
