Cost efficient way of doin sky mutliroom????

Featured Replies

Reet, currently have sky and Sky+ box. Housemate may be moving in soon and also has sky box and I have a spare Sky box.

What's the most cost effective way of having Sky in lodger's room and my room as well as lounge? Dish is at back of house, lodegr's room is at back of house, my room is at front of house.

Need either Sky or or an Freeview aerial feed into my room (not one at the mo) as the analogue signal will be switched off here soon!

Any bright ideas, cheap if poss?!:thumbup::D

Think all you should need is a dual LAN for your dish and a freeview box to run the cable to.That way you can have the freeview going to one room and the sky to another :) .....But then again i wouldnt believe a word i say as i have been known to be wrong about such technical matters;)

Would you not need a quad LNB for this? 2 inputs for the Sky+ box and one each for the normal boxes, I presume that you have the 2 inputs already going to your sitting room on the front of the house so run another cable from the dish at the back to his room and anaother one over the roof to your bedroom. Should do it.

As i recall, then LNBs on the dish tend to either have 1 or 4 outputs.

If you have 4, then its just a matter of running a cable from the dish into lodgers room.

If either of you have an XBox 360, Sky can be watched on that now. Don't know what sort of sky contract you need though.

Have Quad LNB already. Cabling shouldn't be in issue, just making sure I don't need to take out a Sky Multiroom subscription too!
