Hi all
I'm considering using one of the two cables coming from my dish to feed the Humax box (sat 1) with the second cable coming from the dish feeding a skybox F5 (not a sky box, note the difference) with a loop through to the second Humax input (sat 2).

Does anyone foresee any problems with this set up? (I don't intend on using both boxes at the same time.)

Thanks in advance.

Assuming the HDR1000s has control of the lnb when the fta box is in sby it should work.

In fact tuner 2 should also have access to channels in the same band and having the same polarisation as the fta box is using when it's on.

Thanks for the quick reply Graham. Just what I was hoping to hear.
