    moved to correct forum due to poster's blindness as not an "all other topics" issue.

    all sat boxes will need a sat cable but providers box and the f5 on the same lnb may give you a no signal on some channels,it is a well known problem with that cheap box.it may need a different lnb.

    all boxs need an individual feed to it, so to use the skyplus box and a f5, you will need 3 cables running to the TV from the dish,

    you could only use one sat cable in the sky+ box (I mean don't record ) and use the second cable in the f5 .then all you have to do is connect both boxes to the tv , if the tv has two hdmi connections you will be fine , if it only has one hdmi connection you will need to connect one box via scart or via the rgb coactions .
