Hi all, ive rewired my brothers house and have taken a shotgun coax from 5 x points into the loft ! ( I think ive messed up ). they are going to have 5 separate sky + boxes (BIG FAMILY).Can I use a loft box so they can all be used separately with 1 x shotgun coming from LNB ? Is this possible or is there a better way ? thanks in advance ( ill stick to house bashing)

Skyplus requires 2 LNB`s per box, for pause real time, record/view.

Sky doesn't work like that, with what you've got you could have 2 dishs outside and 5 twins coming in hen joint in the the loft or get a dish and quatro lnb run 4 coaxes out to the dish and have a multiswitch in the loft.

2 separate feeds from the 1 LNB you could have an octo LNB which would have 8 ouputs so run 4 sky+ boxes from the 1 LNB.

Best solution here would be a multi switch installed in the loft.

I have a 5 way LMB on my dish, you run the 5 shotgun cables straight to the dish and then you have seperate boxes, you will be fine, just tell sky they will need the engineer to bring a 5 way LMB.

What are you on about lol. 5 way LMB indeed. He needs 10. A LNB would be more useful and they only make that upto 8 way (Octo). Stick to trolling bud, you are better at it

I'm no expert on sky but can't these be used?

 

[Guest77]

if sky plus to all 5 rooms then you could either have 2 dishes with 4 connected to one and the 5th to a second,or if not all sky plus then like me I have 6 cables connected to my LNB, the sky plus in the lounge with 2 wires and 4 freeview sat boxes throughout the house which only need one cable each.

I think your looking at a multiswitch here mate.

mmmm.... you said before you had 5 Way and to tell Sky they should bring a 5 Way (would love to be fly on the wall to that conversation lol). How do you connect 6 to your 5 Way LNB then? lol. Talking out of arse me thinks...

The octo lnb is 8 outputs so your 2 outputs short stidge.
do they really need recording to all 5 tv positions?
if they do need it you will require a quattro (not a quad) lnb with 4 cables to a multiswitch in the loft.
these usually have 5 inputs inc one for the aerial .
then split from the multi switch with your shotgun cable to your boxes

Yes, because he really gains something out of lying about his bleedin' sky connection?!?!?

You will be alright Anthony :biggrin: you never purposely went out of your way to trash me on the forums, I don't want any grief but he obviously wants to play, his call not mine.
