sky fta downstairs

hi,
just wondering... i have an old sky box in the living room with just bbc and itv etc, the cable from the sat dish is drilled into the wall downstairs behind the sky box,
i'm thinking of returning to sky & getting a sky + plus box instead, can i transfer the old sky box upstairs to one of the bedrooms, maybe connect to the tv wall point like i do with the rte aeriel, or would i have to drill the cable through a roof tile

cheers

The box will have to be connected to the dish,doesn't work off an aerial.Your best bet is to offer the Sky installer a few bob to hook it up for you.

hi zerks,

apoligies for bringing this back to life, but how would the installers hook the 2nd sky fta box upstairs to the dish and can they run 2 cables off the dish

The lnb they use for Sky+ is a quad,this has 4 'ports' where you can connect the cables to.Sky+Hd boxes use 2 cables leaving 2 free so they can be used to hook up extra boxes.
