... it's not possible for the STB to have two feeds?


My g/f & I's flat is fairly new-ish, maybe 4 or 5 years. The building has a shared satellite dish system, which is distributed to each flat - each one has a single outlet in the corner of the lounge, to connect a Sky STB to.

But it's obviously not new enough - no provision for having two feeds for Sky+ or SkyHD.

And we can't get a dish of our own put up.


So if I decide to upgrade to Sky+ or SkyHD, we'd only be able to watch/record one channel at a time.

As we don't have any Premium channels, if we had Sky+, we'd have to pay the £10pcm extra sub (which, although I'd be prepared to pay it, I still don't really see any justification for...you can get Freeview PVRs, so why do Sky charge?).

Or if we got SkyHD, we'd have to pay the £10pcm SkyHD extra sub (which includes Sky+).

So, either way, the extra monthly charge would be the same, so it's a matter of do I pay less for a Sky+ box, or fork out more for a SkyHD box.


Anyone with either Sky+ or SkyHD actually find that much use for being able to tune to two different channels at once?


Hmm. Actually, I guess it just really depends on what you happen to watch, whether things clash...plus it all gets repeated ad infinitum anyway.


I assume a Sky+/SkyHD box will still happily work (minus twin tuner ability) with only one LNB feed?
