Stupid Question (How many digiboxes?)

    I'm thinking of getting sky but I have a question.

    This is probably a stupid question but:

    How many sky digiboxes is it possible to run off one sky dish?
    (I'm thinking of getting sky with 2 boxes initially - sky digibox & sky + box. Then I was going to purchase two more boxes with FTV cards for other rooms in the house).

    Any answers/ suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Razorfish

    You can now get an octo lnb which will run up to 8 standard sky box's or 4 Sky+ box's. Would that be enough!:D

    I think the limit for a simple distribution system is 480 Sky+ boxes.

    With 16 way mulitswitch (first port on some will work with Quad or Quattro) you get 8 Sky+, About 300 Euro
