some nice kind gent has given me a sky+ box i'm waiting for the remote at present but after looking at the back of it it's got 2 dish input holes where as my old box only has 1.

Will my old sky digital coax work ok with the sky+ box or am i ****ed & need new lmb + lead ???......:D

Hi Paul,

Sky + receiver has 2 inputs as it has 2 tuners. The great benefit of this is that you can record 2 programmes at the same time, or watch one and record another.

Your current old sky digital coax should work ok , as long as it now damaged or damp, but you will need another run of coax to feed the second tuner.

You will also need a new LNB with 2 outputs, dish should be ok.

Hope this is helps.

Martin.

yep you need a dual head LMB and 2 cables to the box unless you have 2 dishes already then just connect up the 2 cables
