Easy DIY job or not?
Yes, subject to the proviso of different generations of dish using
different mounts
My parents have just had a load of work done (by me of course) and they
will need a quad LNB fitting.
Consider an octo when you're up there. Also research whether the new
Sky Q system needs different LNB feeds from 'traditional' Sky Plus.
Yes it does.
Sky Q uses a pair of wide band outputs and a digital receiver to get
about 12 channels from the two outputs.
You can get an octo one with the two Q outputs and 6 old style ones I
think.
12 channels? There were only 3 channels when I was at school:-)
I'll look into the octo you mentioned. That would actually be quite
handy as I have fitted provision for Sky+ in 3 places at their place.
