Got the cable from Homebase last night for a fiver. Did a factory reset and I have to say, it's very impressive what you can record with only one cable! Basically I've had the foxsat for a year and was getting a bit bored with the limited channels. Sky were doing a deal for €20/month basic package so I went for that.
The only thing with sky in Ireland is that you don't get BBC 4 HD or Channel 4 HD on the EPG so I'm going to leave the foxsat where it is and use both boxes. I had three lnb feeds from the dish so I have only one lnb feed left for the Foxsat. I can record potentially 4 channels and maybe watch one other with both boxes in use. Whether there's four worth recording could be debatable!
In case you haven't spotted this.

There is an alternative arrangement.
Use both cables on the Foxsat and use the tuner 1 out to give an extra feed.
This gives full function when Foxsat is in low power sby. When on or recording only channels in same band and polarisation available (same as tuner 2 when in single cable mode). I feed one of the satellite tuners in my TV this way.
