Sky+

[dave_374329825]

I am using a standard sky box at present with no problems but wish to use a Sky+ box will i need 2 cables and a new lnb or will the equipment i have be o/k

My understanding is that you'll need to double up as you have two receivers working at the same time - so twin/quad lnb and double cable - or just add a single dish/lnb/cable to your existing setup, it would look strange though.

Hi Dave

Twin / quad LNBs are cheaply available now as is double core coax cable. Two cables all in one.

Look back about 5 months and there's a post from a guy who gave me the correct steer.

Sky + works as simply as ordinary sky .

Cheers

Dave, you do need a double/quad LNB for Sky+ and double cable. Up untill two weeks ago I had Sky+ and used it all over Europe, however, I cancelled my Sky subscription and I can no longer use Sky+. It used to be that you could use a cancelled Sky+ card but Sky have stopped that. There may be a few lucky ones about who have cards that Sky have not got round to putting the clobbers on. I am not fussed as I cancelled Sky(they were much to expensive/greedy) and will buying the new Humax box(Free HD and +, no suscription) for Freesat(BBC) when it becomes available later in the year. I now have two redundant Sky+ boxes with cards. Anyone interested?

Good luck. JTS.

Are they the newer Sky+ boxes or the old one?

I might be interested in one if it's the newer one, depending how much you want for it.

Sorry mate they were the latest but have gone. Thanks for your interest.

Good luck. JTS.

I've been using Sky+ in the van for a few years now and have a quad LNB on my stand by tripod mounted dish with a twin Invacom LNB on the roof mounted Maxview Semitronic

I haven't use the twin cable but it works just the same with two seperate coax lead ins
