    Re: Using a splitter back to front, can you ?

    i'm stuck with one going to my tv for freesat and one to the sky+ box and thats it , no other way then ?

    The answer would seem to be that you have to put up your own dish with 2, 3, or 4 ports on it and ignore the communal feed altogether then, or just use that feed for your bedroom set.
    IF you are allowed to put up your own dish?

    the signal that comes from the 'sat distribution system' is still the same signal that comes from an LNB, its just 'boosted' [if you like to use that word - but its not boosted - its split and equalised to each port ]

    Is it possible then dx for an engineer to "split and equalise" thomsons communal port from the distribution box further, to give him two or more feeds for his setup?

    thing is though mate, i dont even know where the satelitte distrobution box is, it might probably be in the house that the dish is bolted to, i dunno, all i know is i have a booster type thing just inside the loft hatch, from what i remember thats defo for the analog roof aerial (which is also on the other property too)

    i have 1 socket on the living room wall that has two sat connections on it, and i have another socket next to that with two normal analog aerial connection (one of which i know is the loop for the bedrooms), and in the 2 bedrooms i have one connection in each of them with normal analog aerial connection, there is no sat feeds in the bedrooms.

    I think I would probably do that and give up on the freesat feed. After all you can only watch one program at once and if you can record on the V+ then you can watch it whenever you like?
