is it possible???

i am a sky customer, i have sky+ box and basic package. i bought a sky digibox and connected one of the sky cables from the sky plus box to it to check if it was working, i received all of the standard sky free view channels. I ran a satellite cable from my sky dish to the digibox, when i powered on the box i am getting the message 'No satellite signal is being received'. Why am i getting this message?
I checked the new installed cable by connecting it to the sky+ box and it is working fine. Can sky shut down the second digibox? I did not have the digibox connected to a phone line. is it possible to run 2 seperate sky boxes from the one satellite dish? should i buy a different satellite receiver box which i can use with the sky dish?
Anyone got any ideas?

Ideally you need a quad LNB so that you can retain the + facility. You can then run a cable from the quad unit to your 2nd box. Unless the box is knackered, then you should get all thr FTA channels. Beeb 1 will be ch 101.

Check the connections on the cable you ran to the box,could be something as simple as that seeing as how the other connections to the Sky+ are fine.
