Number of Cables needed for Sky+

[peaches]

Hi,

I'm having a new house built and having networking, TV and Sky cabling put in to all the rooms.

The way I've been told it's supposed to work is the Sky Dish goes in to the loft, the signal then gets combined with the Terrestrial TV & Radio signal and passes down one 'multiplexed' cable to the Lounge, where it is then split in to 3, 1 FM, 1 Terrestrial TV & 1 Sky, There is then a seperate loop back Standard TV Coax cable that goes back in to the loft, in to a ditribution box and then fed to rest of the rooms in the house which just have a single TV socket.

My question is is one Sky Cable enough in the lounge for Sky+ I was under the impression it required two signals and hence two cables?

I did specify i wanted Sky+ at the time, there was some confusion to start with, but he consulted some Sky engineers and assured me everything was sorted. On the quote for the work it says Sky+ but I dont want to have extra work done once it's all been painted and carpeted.

You need two cables to receive Sky+, and they have to be straight from the dish, not multiplexed.
