Sky / Freesat – can they be run from the same dish?

I moved from Sky due to the prices but a 60% offer has got me thinking…

I have installed a Freesat recorder thing where the Sky cables come into the living room. If I wanted to replace that agin with Sky, could I run additional cable from the dish into another room in the house so that I can re-locate the Freesat recorder?

Or will that affect the signal or recording ability of the Freesat recorder or Skybox? Can the dish take additional cable being fed into it? I thought an additional dish would solve it but I never see houses with multiple dishes so there must be an easier way?

Any ideas?

Yep. You’ll have to check whether your dish has a quad adapter (to run up to 4 cables from it). You can even get an octo (8) adapter if you have need to run 8 cables!

The “adapter” is called an LNB.

If you’ve had Sky+ before, which I’m guessing you have as you said “cables,” then the chances are you’ll have a Quad LNB installed. In which case, there will be two connections used by the Sky+ installation and two free for your own nefarious purposes.
