FreeSat HD installation

Hi all...

I'm moving home in a week to non Virgin Media area.... although the VM V+ HD box isn't without it's faults we will miss not having a PVR.

Therefore, I'm thinking of buying the Humax FOXSAT HDR. The house I am moving to has a Sky dish and I assume that it has a dual cable LNB....

Is that it though??... just wire it up and away I go?

Also whats the benefit of a quad LNB?.... does it just allow you to have another LNB in another room?

Thanks

Re: FreeSat HD installation

Just plug two cables from the LNB into the Freesat Humax HDR box and that is it.
Quad LNB's give four connections.
You need two connections for PVR's and one for all other boxes.
