Moving house, cabling?

fifth

Hi,

Moving my sky+ to a new house, we got it back in April and they put a dish up etc. Now I know I've to leave my existing dish where it is, and they're sending an installer tomorrow to put a new one up for €77.

My only questions are - Sky+ requires two cables, one for the sky, one for the recording/playback functions I believe..?

We've one tv point in the wall, which goes into some sort of signal booster which has like 3 ports in it which would fit the sky+ cabling, would that suffice or will he need to drill another hole in the wall? Cos that can't happen.. rented accomodation..previous tenants had a polish satellite or something, took dish and all with them.

If the sky+ can't be wired, what happens then? I know it's not skys fault that I can't use the sky+ features, but can I still get standard sky viewing with just one cable? (providing he does need to drill another hole)

Just wondering, I'll find out tomorrow anyway

:P

You will need a second cable wired directly to the room or they will need to bring in a second cable through the wall. Only other way is to put it somewhere else and use a magic eye on it but you wont get the full effect picture wise.

Ah feck anyway. We can't drill any more holes in.

edit: landlord's ok with it now. Phew, thanks!
