    Hey guys!
    my friends bedroom is down the bottom of his garden...its pretty cool actually appart from he only has freeview which kinda sucks!

    he really wants a d.box2/eurovox/starview, but he hasnt got the coax connection which is what you need (i think??)

    at the moment in the house they have 4 sky boxes which uses all of the ports availiable in the sky dish!

    please could you help me find out how to get a coax socket to his bedroom and tell me all the material i would need?

    thanks very much =)

    the lnb on the sky dish that he has
    has 4 inputs for cables

    1. you can change this to 6 / 8 (see the internet)

    2. get a splitter to split 1 of the cables going to a sky box
    so 1 cable from the sky dish will be cut and a splitter used to put it to 1 sky box and then the other (his in the garden), please note that signal and quality may be lost

    suggestion 1 is the best, it should nt cost much and you may be able to do it yourself JUST dont move the sky dish

    unplug all cables to lnb on sky dish
    take off 4 input lnb
    replace it with 6/8 lnb
    put back the original 4
    now connect the new cable from his box in the garden

    just some suggestions for you
    you may get more from other people on the site

    I HAVE SINCE GONE TO SPEC-SAVERS AND I CAN NOW SEE AND READ ALL THE THREADS.... AGAIN SORRY FOR WRONG INFO I WAS UP ALL NIGHT WORKING ON THE NAGVISION 3
