can I Hijack this thread, I've often read about needing "2" feeds from your dish to your humax box

I'm looking into getting a Humax Freesat box

I have got a dish with 4 leads, however I have 1 wire directed to the front room and 1 wire directed to the back room

could I spilt the cable via a Splitter to make "2" feeds rather running 2 cables into 1 room

in that case can I ask why the need for 2 feeds, would it be to watch one channel while taping another

One feed is required per channel. Just recable from the LNB to the PVR usng shotgun cable.
You can't record one channel and view another simultaneously without a twin feed.
