[QUOTE="spuddy, post: 612969, member: 324553"] Hi I am a newbie so apologies for the question. Can anyone help me please with the following. I have a sky+ box with the two cables connected. I have purchased a Panasonic TV that has a FreeSat receiver built in and I want to take on of the cables from the back of the sky plus box and split it into two. Then take one of the two cables and plug into the TV (so it can receive the Freesat) and plug the other one back into the Sky+ box. I have purchased a two way satellite splitter from Maplin and tried it out. I have tried connecting the sky box as the power pass connection and vice versa. But whichever way I try it, one of the devices does not work. Sky+ on Power Pass = Sky+ works, but TV has no signal on Freesat TV on Power Pass = Freesat received, but Sky+ does not. (I believe this is because the Sky+ sets the polarity and then the other device cannot work on all channels). Is there something I can buy that will enable this connection without the need for having new cables connected to the Sky+ Dish and drilling holes into my walls. Thanks in advance for any help [/QUOTE]
