installing bigger lnb

    I currently have a quad lnb which supplies a sky+ and freesat+ box, and am thinking about adding another freesat box. Can I get a bigger lnb which will work with my current sky dish, and can anyone recommend a good installer to install the new lnb and set up the freesat box?

    you can get an octo

    just a matter of swapping them over.

    make sure the 'octo' is suitable for your dish as Sky have now changed the design of the arm/lnb holder and the new model LNB's dont fit the the old style dishes and vica-versa.

    Thats correct they have but we and i'm sure many other suppliers include an adapter which means the new design onb's can be used on new and old sky dishes.

    Thanks for this. Do you install these, and if so, can you give me a price to replace my current Quad LNB with the Octo, and install a freesat box (I will supply the box) in Drogheda?

    Thanks!
