Dish

I use a 60mill dish at home with my Sky and use a Quad LNB so you can run 4 set top boxes off the one dish .In Spain for my winter vacation then I takemy Sky decoder and use a 1100 mill dish ,other wise after 6pm it wont pick it up ,especially if the weathers cr**

I use one of these with 1 dish

It runs 3 x sky+ boxes no probs

The problem with the lidl one is that you have to remember all the no. of the stations...Its not like Sky+ which is so easy..I had the other fitted a friend got it from france it was only in a month and i got rid of it..Sky+ is now free here my package only costs 30 a month...Should have got HD though

Think this comes standard with the sky dish....As there are 4 cables running from my dish to the reciever

what package have you got martin? mine sky+ is €58 then €15 extra per room for the multiroom......

if i was to get a new lnb as per above (thanks dave) will it only pick up sky or will it pick up other satellites as well...i understand id need another reciever though

my dish has 4 on the lnb...so with the 8 id be able to have 4 boxes in total in the house? ive got 2 leads running from the dish to the back of the sky+ box....

Sky+ needs two cables per receiver in order to record and play at the same time - basic Sky box only needs one so yes, an 8 way LNB will run 4 Sky+ boxes (and 4 subscriptions for Mr Murdoch)
