Default Attaching a 2nd HD box to quad LNB

I have the standard quad LNB that you get fitted by Sky when you get
an HD box. I am thinking of connecting a second HD box to it.

Do I just connect the box to the two spare connections on the LNB? Or
do I have to adjust any settings on the second Sky Box (such as
turning off power to the LNB)?

No - all outputs on a quad-LNB act as if they were 4 independent single
LNBs. They all need power. Just connect the second HD box to the spare
sockets!

also don't forget to use Water Proof F Connectors for the LNB
