Re: In anticipation of SKY+.......

["happy_hammer66" <bill.mcmahon@xxxxxxx>]

i think your thinking of the various other forms of lnb's used with 
larger dishes and analogue systems, . A standard Sky LNB is 
a 'universal' type and needs only one cable,  a voltage signal from
the digibox is used to switch frequencies at the LNB.

we don't have sky+ in Ireland but i have a twin LNB and two digiboxes 
hanging off it, one irish, one UK. The UK one gives me ITV/CH4/CH5 
that i don't get with the irish one.

I would run four cables from the intended Dish location into the 
attic and distribute from there. Maybe use a loftbox.
