Connecting old sky box

nophd08 · 2010-10-11 20:24:17

Hi all, Just got sky HD upgrade and I want to connect old box to another TV. I assume box will recieve free to air? Problem is that new cable from LNB is twin and old box has one input. Do I just use one part of twin,? LNB is multi point so ok there. Excuse my ignorance.

No, you do not use one part of the twin. That is already in use so you can record in your HD box. You will have to connect an entirely independent cable from the lnb to whichever room you will have the old box in.
