[mark richards]

Hi all bought a samgung tv with freesat built in...could i use this with my sky box? connect another cable to the LNB and use both..
I don't subscribe to the HD channels on sky, but the freesat does have more HD channels...thanks..

Providing you have an LNB with spare connectors, it should be OMOM

E: or even okay. DYAC.

Some LNB will only have 2 connectors (if the sky was installed a while ago) and sky+ will use both. So you'll need a quad socket LNB (installed as standard on newer sky installs)

We've got Freesat running through an unused sky dish that was up when we moved in. If you want to run them side by side then another LNB with the cable running to the Freesat box will work perfectly. The HD channels are quite good with Freesat and they're adding more all the time. Well worth using IMO, our TV has freeview built in too but we hardly ever use freeview on it as Fresat has everything we need.

yes, LNB has spare socket , besides the two being used by sky+ ...
so I just need to run a cable from the LNB to tv then?
