Piggyback FTA onto existing Sky+

Apologies if this has been answered, If I already have Sky+ (current subscription), and an old sky box can I just run another lead off the dish to a second room, hook up the box and watch the Free to Air channels?

Does the LNB on your dish have any free outputs? If so then yes, just run a suitable cable from the dish to the second room.

Must check. Was sort of assuming I did as they changed the LNB when I got the Sky+ in.

Yeah if you've got Sky+ then you've most likely got two spares as the LNB they supply with Sky+ installs usually has four outputs on it.

Thanks have spent many hours trawling the satellite boards looking at all sorts of kit only to realise that all I need to buy is some coaxial cable. Well worth it though, more to spend on TV for room now!
