None

Cos Freeview is from a terrestrial aerial.

You mean FreeSAT?

You run a cable from a multi-LNB to each receiver. No other way, (without getting into DISEQ switching and Global switches?
So .. providing you are not using a "Plus" box anywhere, a QUAD LNB will supply up to 4 receivers.
Don't split anything. That's a warning : )

Hi AL Bags

Sorry I'll start again ...... I have an old sky dish on my house. I have bought a free sat box.
Q Can I run the free sat box from the old sky dish.
Q Can I split the cable and put a one into two junction box on so that there are two cables coming off the dish into separate rooms via the one into two box ?

Thanks
