Quad lnb to Octo lnb

De Bellem

I have a quad lnb (in use). I would like to add another PVR to the collective.
Will a normal sky dish be adequate for this and is it a difficult operation to do. what is the general cost of an octo lnb. to buy Any suggestions or information on the matter would be most welcome.

John mac

one of these?
or you could try flea bay,
or perhaps a look at the stickies will point the way:cool:

just a word of advice, make sure all sky/sat boxes boxes attached to the quad lnb are plugged out when you disconnect the cables, you dont want to short any connections

Is there any brands/manufacturers to look for, or is it much of a muchness?
