hi there can anyone tell me, I have a standard sky box, but I just bought a sky+box, do I need to run another cable up to the dish, to get the box fully functional? Or could I put a splitter into the box and run two cables into the splitter then into both box inputs? thank you all, that have brrn helping me recently.
i am not 100% sure!! but id say you could put a splitter on the cable/box that comes into the house and then feed your 2 boxes, try it and make sure both boxes do what there supposed to do, if that dont work,do cable direct to new box and run other cable from output to standard box?? just a couple suggestions, hope 1 works.
The Sky+ box has two tuners so you need to run two cables to the dish. If you only originally had normal Sky then you probably only have a single lnb so you won't be able to run a second cable without replacing the lnb for a dual or quad lnb. Also your Sky card is linked to your box so you'll have to ring Sky and ask nicely to have them pair your card and new box for it to actually work. Why didn't you just upgrade through Sky directly??? Much easier unless you know what your doing.
