Am I correct in thinking that I need to connect satellite cables to lnb1 in & lnb2 in for device to play & record ? Also i would like to keep my sky box connected & i think I have read that I can do this by using lnb 1 out connected to lnb 1 in on sky box.

Yes for full facilities. with only one cable to LNB1, you will be able to watch anything and record a quite large subset of the channels.spire2003 - 24 minutes ago »

Nope. If you do this, you will have two boxes both trying to control the LNB. This doesn't work if both boxes are switched on. Each LNB input requires a separate cable to the LNB.

This is possible but subject to the following
I feed one of the two Freesat tuners in my Panny tV this way.
The Foxsat-HDR must be set to use low power sby. When in full sby the Sky-HD tuner has control so all channels are usable.
When on, or recording in sby or about to record. Only channels with the same polarisation as the channel tuner i is using and in the same band (high/low) can be used.
This info can be found here
