RE: [OT] Sky+ using a single cable connection?

Hi Neil

If you only have the one cable running to the Sky box, you may be able
to use a Johansson stacker/destacker -

But if you're cable run is too long or the cable is of an inferior
quality then you may well get a very poor IF2 feed to the Sky+ box.

I'd say you're always best to run another cable if possible, but in
situations like yours where this definitely cannot be done, you could
try the stacker unit.

Can anyone help restore calm to our household please!

SWMBO has decided that we *need* Sky+ now that prices are sensible, but
having laid wooden floors both upstairs & down and not having any easy
way
of installing extra cables we have a problem. The install can only be
carried out if there is no major mess which means no lifting of floors
or
chasing in new cables :-(

So, does anyone know if there are splitters that will allow two LNB
connections to be sent down a single cable?
