Sky + with single LNB

Ron Scott

Hi,

I have a standard dish with a single LNB, mounted 20 metres from the house due to reception difficulties. It is not feasible to run more cable to it. Can I still run a Sky + box and lose some features, or will it not work at all without a dual or quad LNB ?

Thanks for any help offered,

Tony

you may get live pause but thats about it, not really worth it in my opinion. Is it not possible to run a 2nd cable alongside the first ?

Thanks Tony.

The cable to the dish was layed through a pipe that was then buried under patio & garden during building works. Looking at the pipe, I don't think I could pull a 2nd cable through it.

Satcure sell those stackers and I from memory they also do twin cable that is the same diameter as a single one if that was an option.

Looks like my solution, thanks to you both for your help.

No problem but be careful with the twin cable its more lossy thans CT100 so can only go shorter distances
