Dreambox/freesat cable

[kebabs]

Just a quick question, I have a dreambox getting a smart tv with freesat built in can I split the cable at the dreambox then to the tv and still keep the signal strength? Thankyou in advance

If your tuner on the back of the box has a loop out then yes you can no problem, Just remember that to watch the freesat on the inbuilt TV your 800 would have to be in standby for it to work on both polarities

Thanks for that I was going to get a splitter box and a couple of leads!! Always wondered what the loop bit was for cheers again

I've tried splitting my sat cable but it just doesn't work(not sure why though), i just run extra cables from the LNB. or do the loop out thing

Hi tried the loop out, worked fine however when I went back to dreambox it froze untill I removed the loop
Cable it did the same with a openbpx I have aswell, ? I can live without the freesat but just wondered why it froze the dreambox/openbox
