Hi

I currently have a single feed from a quad LNB to a standard Sky box, when the contract runs out with Sky, i'm hopefully going to be getting a Freesat+ HD PVR so will need 1 more feed from quad LNB.

How much will it cost if i want to do it myself?
What type of cable, connectors, clips etc etc etc are recommended ? :confused:
I'd be looking at around 20m of cable from the dish to inside the living room if that helps



Thanks

the easiest way would be to get the same "figure-of-8" (2 joined coax leads) that the installers used and a set of screw-on F-Connectors, as for price I've no idea I'm afraid

If you're ending your contract with $ky, why don't you just plug the existing cable into a Freesat box and chuck the digibox in the wheelie? I did just that today.
