    Doesn't matter what order you use them in,you have space to connect another 2 boxes to the lnb.:)

    Apology in advance for going a bit off topic.

    I am getting a new install of Sky next month, hoping to use an octo so I can add freesat/and use my old sky boxes in bedrooms. I have an octo from an old dish, but I believe (maybe wrongly) that Sky have changed their dish style, wondered if it will be any good or will I need a new one.

    It looks like this one: images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTndCWF6rchdRbWwtSXxb2B_mPXeSvUGJfVw6awb9Qu5jWmdGhnjA

    Thanks for any advice!

    You can pick up the sky satellite with a frying pan as long as its pointed in the right direction. :D

    Dish wont matter

    So thats why Rupert Murdoch has started the Sky cookware division, installer asking me If I want a tefal hotspot pan as my dish or stainless steel!

    Just wondered if my LNB will need an adaptor etc to fit the arm on new dishes.
