  • You would need to run another feed from the LNB on the dish to the room required.
    Look for WF100 cable and some F connectors. Have a look on Ebay.

    The card, assuming it works at all, will only provide a few more channels that you'd get without it, i.e. Sky 3, FIVER and FIVEUS. Do a force download on the box once it's installed to get the latest EPG.
    Channel 5 will be missing from the EPG, but this can be added manually later on.
