What is this Twin Cable called? & I assume I need 2x F Plugs (to go to the Dish) & 2x Males to the STB (if I get BBC/ITV FreeSat
I think the twin cable is siamese.
You will need two runs, theres no way around it. I'd guess the 2 in 1 device you mention mixes terrestrial frequencies with L band (LNB output) frequencies which are different. Two LNB ouputs are the same range of frequencies so can't share the same cable.

Sorry Chris, the question I thought you were ignoring is what Freesats ethernet port provides the consumer. i.e what is it for?
