sky+hd help

if she was to get someone to run another cable from the LNB,so she could record different channels she wasn't watching,does anyone know roughly what installers charge for doing it ?

Kurtis_Blue

standard wall mounted dish = 45-65 ish, depending on cable runs and whether a quad is installed.

ok thanks,she's had it up a few years so it's prob only basic

Depends where the dish is in relation to the TV.Any good competant DIY'er could do it for less than £50.
You mainly need a Quad LNB & some CATV.

Quad LNB for £7..

F-Connectors, you need 2 so any DIY store should stock them;

not being funny here but sky would have done all this for free at the minute for her. yes she would have had to pay for hd subs, but as it stands you could end up calling sky out to sort this issue out anyway

So not free at all then?? and why would she need to call sky out to hook up a 2nd feed?

look at end of dish, if there is a free terminal.
go maplins buy the connectors as show earlier in post and what ever amount of cable you will need to get from dish to tv, then just connect to sky hd box.

call sky and get them to send a signal to pair the card and box

sorted.

same way to do mutli room aswell for free sat etc
