Just have another line put in.
Ive a Dreambox downstairs and one in the bedroom.
Only the downstairs Dreambox will move the dish so you have to watch the same sat on both boxes.

thanks Andy. Do you mean put another coax line to the motor ie heve separate lines from motor to each box. Both boes are beside the TV in same room

Only one box can/will drive the motor. You need to fit a twin LNB to your dish and run a second cable/feed to your second box.

Maybe a bit thick here but a twin LNB one motor. How do I attach atwin LNB to the motor and run 2 cables back to the 2 boxes . Sorry bout this

the LNB is on the end of the arm of the dish mate, you need one with two or more outputs..

one cable goes from twin lnb to motor other cable from twin lnb to new box
old box still having cable from motor

Thanks Tango. I just thought there might be a more easy to operate system. My boxes have separate connections to Tv. So if boxes are A which can move dish an B is second box direct to twin LNB. When I watch B and want to change satellite i have change tv input to A ,change satellite, then change input of TV to B and select channel on B.....life is very dificult. What do diseque(spell) switches do

not fully sure but off top of my head i think there used to wire 1 box to 2 dishes etc

That is the easy way,2 lines coming from a twin or quad Lnb but only one will drive the motor.
I tend to stick to Sky Uk in my bedroom but only one line will drive the motor which is my downstairs box.
