Sky single feed

Hi, Not sure if this is the right place to ask but here goes.

I have just moved into a property which has three single sky feeds going to three rooms. This now means I can only watch one channel and record that channel due to single feed on a Sky HD box.

I have done some Googling but all I can find is info on how to split the feeds, I want to get one of the feeds back - what I would like to know is can I use an extension to reconnect the sky feed not used in one of the rooms to bring it back to the lounge to re-enable the dual feed function so I can watch and record two channels?

I have looked at the Sky dish on the roof and it looks like its a Quad LNB as it has the three cables coming down into the house.

Any experts who can advise I would be most grateful.

    The easiest way is just to re-route one of the other feeds to where you want the double feed to go, you may need extra sat cable and couplers. Alternatively add another feed from the spare block on the quad.

  • Got an extension sky lead and coupler and has worked a treat. Many thanks.
