2 Sky Dishes

[NaNaNiii]

Hi, i have two sky dishes, One which is about 12 years old and one Sky HD one with dual LNB which was installed 2 months ago. I have currently got my old dish connected to my DM800 and some channels like Nikelodeon are at 50%. They are literally unwatching however, i tried utting one the new LNB's and the SNR went to 100%!!!! and the channel worked fine. My question is, if i connect my old dish dish to my SKY HD box, would it work? With two Seperate Dishes? Thanks

could do, the sky box tuner is tronger than the dm800 tuner. why dont you get a quad lnb and stick it on the minidish, will only take 5 minutes. you then have your old spare dish to point at another sat

Agree with the above post. A friend of mine did exactly the same and used his old dish to point at hotbird (13e).

Thanks for your posts but i have no need for any other stas apart from SKY. I connected one LNB from the new Sky Dish to tuner 1 on the sky hd box and the LNB from the old dish for tuner 2 and they both work fine. Now, my avg SNR is around 90% on the dreambox rather than 60%
