Sky second decoder

[Stuart]

what do i need other than 2 tv's 2 decoders, 2 accounts and a mini dish.


dad has the skin flint to air card for his and ive got a few channels on my account, so what bits and pieces do i need to use both at the same time with diff channels etc. blah blah

[frog_southampton]

we got old cable...

got a splitter on main feed in 2 house wiv wire goin in 2 my bedroom and wire goin 2 front room...

and got 2 chipped boxes

so got all channels in my room and downstairs for ?10 a month or summint coz just pay basic package

[frog_southampton]

why dont u split the feed...but if u using 1 box will have 2 watch what is going on downatsis

[Stuart]

with satellite dishes the reciver (bit in the middle) is polarised ie horizontal or vertical, so splitting the feed maynot be the answer, esp as a decoder supplies the power to the lnb in the first place etc blah blah


ive got 2 boxes lol i jsut want to know what else is in the pack sky provide lol

surely the first package you have in the front room is a complete setup, so just look at what you have there then duplicate it.

[Stuart]

and get a second dish??! dont think it works like that


surely someone has seen the ads with the two cartoon people arguing over what to watch and then orderd the second decoder and other bits so that you can watch two different programs at once thrgouh one dish.



im pretty sure its not as simple as jsut splitting the dish feed into 2 lines.

Will ask my friend he is a sky installer.

in my GF's bro's appartment here in Boston he is robbing cable, has a little box to give all channels (around 200) and another little box to unscramble everything!
4 24hr porn channels and all pay per view movie channels (10 in total) :o :lol:

The lnb effectively tunes to the channel you're watching, you need to ask Sky to install a twin lnb (which can run on the same dish).

is that what they provide as part of the pack when you ask for the seperate channel service (as advertised by the cartoons lol)

lol, not seen the cartoons but it must be part of the pack if its a separate channel.
