We have Sky Sports with the basic Sky package. We now have a Freesat box and want to install to keep the Sky Sports with the new Freesat box. We have a quad LNB - not yet installed, and want to know how to install this setup. SatWe also want to watch one program and record another. Would two feeds from our dish be enough or would we need three feeds? The Freesat box is the Humax Satellite HD Digital TV Recorder Please help. Hi. We have Sky Sports with the basic Sky package.

I bought Freesat HD and a Humax Reciever last October. I already had a satellitte dish on my roof, so I hooked it all up via my aerial and the scart leads. It has been working prefectly, until quite recently. I now can't recieve most of the five terrestrial channels and those that I have been able to watch keep saying 'no or bad signal' or even 'the channel is scrambled or not available'. This is becoming more regular with all the channels I could or can recieve. Can you please give me some advice as more than anything it's extremely annoying and unpredictable!! I was hoping someone could help me.

Note that you might need to upgrade your LNB from a single to a quad, depending what's already installed.

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

A <a href="http://www.satbuyer.co.uk/sky-freesat-quad-lnb-p6.html" title="Quad LNB Satbuyer" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Quad LNB</a> is recommended. mr ailex – Sure can, you’ll just need to ensure you have an LNB capable of connecting up more than a single cable.
