[QUOTE="archive10, post: 790046"] Totally agree. Sky boxes (at least the ones I have had) don't do DiSEqC and thus motorised dishes, and multi-LNB setups require the 28.2 to be first on the switch etc. Much simpler to have a separate signal chain for the Sky dish. And probably cheaper too. Do remember to get at least four cables to the new dish, even if you have a single Sky+ installation (two connections). You may swap the dish in the not-too-distant future, get multiple LNBs, and hey presto you need more cables. One important thing: Don't just go for the free-install installer offer from Sky for putting up a mini-dish. You are likely to get a cowboy installer, who is paid to do it as fast as possible (as you are not paying, at least not in full). You get cheap cables literally thrown over the roof and fixed with cheap fixings, and a dish position that may not be optimal in all accounts (not just the easiest accessible to the installer). Find a local installer, advantageously through this forum, who care enough to discuss cable routing, finish, dish colour and positioning etc., and get the right installation for you. [/QUOTE]
