I've never tried 5 but i've done it with 2 different channels on the pc while the wife has been watching a different one on the box

Best to use a static sky uk, and a motor on the other lnb input.

I take it, as it is suggested, the box can take this static, and motor configuration?

That would be the best solution yeah, but everything she wants to record is on sly uk and it's very rare i watch other sats tbh anyway.

Hi Sargie,

Like many others on here I also have a motorised and single fixed dish connected to this bad boy and I would recommend that if you use the other satellites.

You will invest in another LNB and maybe later want to change to a fixed and the costs would be higher?

Do you have neighbours with a Sly dish? If so ask them if you can change the LNB to say an Octagon feed and they can keep all their feeds as well as extend cables to your house??

Im on aatra 28.2e 99.9% of the time really though, i only have fta on the others i dont like footy plenty of pron on the pc lol.

The only benefit would be that i could have the tm800 in the bedroom controlling the motor if i wanted.

For what it costs ill just grab one of these,fixed dish for sly and quad lnb best of both worlds then
