Sky dish - Lidl Box - will it work?

pullandbang · 2008-10-06 20:22:15

Just got Sky & Sky + in and it's great. I still have my Lidl box from a previous diy attempt at satellite installation. Is it possible to split the sky cable before it goes into the sky box and run a feed into my Lidl box in another room? Would it work? How would I split the cable?

No. Wouldn't work properly.

I'd presume you've still got a spare port on your quad LNB on the dish. Run a cable from LNB to the room you plan putting the FTA box into.
