Sky +

Hiya, can anyone give me some advice.

I have sky+ and multiroom. The second sky box is a standard box, but when multiroom was installed, the engineer used the dual coax cable.
Being a standard box, only one of the cables is used, but i've been offered a second hand sky+ box. Will I be able to use the dual coax, and existing sky card in it?

Thanks

    Yes you will.
    Check that the shotgun co-ax is connected up at your LNB, then buy an F connector to terminate the second feed to your new Sky + box.

    You will have to contact Sky for them to pair the new box with your viewing card and activate the recording feature.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
