Sky + LNB & running another "Unofficial" Cable
Hi
After having Sky + installed the other day, my duaghter wanted the old box wired into her bedroom to watch any FTV programs. I connected up a cable to one of the free connections on the LNB and ran it to the box in the bedroom. All I can get is a message with "No signal is being received" Is there a special configuration of LNB outlets to use? The 2 running to the main Sky + box are the outside two with the two in the middle spare Any help appreciated

Each standard box utilises one of the 4 outputs of the LNB. Are you using CT100 cable for the downlead?

It should work. Try the old box at the new box location, using one LNB cable. Bill

You might have a damaged cable, or didn't terminate the connections properly. Dan

Dan Probably the ****e cable from B&Q, but I'll check the box from upstairs with the feed I know works as was previously suggested. £12:50 for 25 metres of cable = good or bad???
