    You need 2 cables going to each Sky+ box, so the LNB (the bit on the dish where the cables connect) must be a quad. I'm not sure what Sky would charge just for a standard install if you have the boxes already.
    I think that it would probably (knowing Sky) be cheaper to not buy Sky + boxes off Ebay etc as they will hit you for installation and cabling.
