Hi - I am new to all this so please bear with me!
I have recently had sky digital installed in my lounge with the movies/sport package. However someone I know is selling a sky digibox and I wondered what good it would be if I put in my bedroom and connected it to the dish? It doesn't have a card... - Is it easy to split the cable from the dish so it goes to both boxes? - Will the box work at all without a card? - If so, what channels will I recieve? - How much is an extra card with a basic package (skyone etc)? Thanks everybody. Paul |

You need to have a dish with two of these, wired independently to each digibox. |

What if you want 3 digiboxes? I already have 2, but a 3rd would be handy. How do i know how many receivers my dish has? Its a fairly new dish... is it a DIY job to fit an 'LNB' (as Lawrence says you need)? Thanks Paul |
