    Feed coming from your sky box?? Not coming from your lnb on the dish?

    You can use it for the fta channels....ITV..BBC.....etc...

    You can get about 30 or so decent channels to watch..

    The list of what you can get is here.. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055520627

    But the + option of recording,rewinding,or watching old recorded items you may have stored won't work.

    I have fed the feed into the box but I'm getting "no signal" where am I going wrong?

    The signal feed needs to come from your dish, you'll have to run a cable (or 2 if you intend to sub for multiroom/recording) in order for the box to operate.

    I have a feed in my bedroom. I have been using that to use the sky eye. Would you think that feed is coming from the dish? Or is that a feed from the box I am using downstairs. I want here when sky was installed so don't know what wires are what

    If you're using an eye, then the Feed is coming from your box or distribution amp.
    You need a satellite feed from the dish.
