I've been attempting to add a second feed into my Sky+ box from the Osyter system so I can use the box to it's full potential, it's somewhat limited with the one feed which originally fed the 12v Pace Minibox.
No problem changing the lnb to a twin but the cable needs to follow the existing one and feed through the arm and the the swivelling base platform of the oyster. If I don't follow that route the second cable will twist all over the place when the dish powers up and spins to find the signal.
Having exposed the internal workings under the motor housing I find the cable passes through a narrow central spindle on the rotating base with no room to pass a second cable alongside. I've got some narrow sat cable to match the original but no way will it fit, even if it did it would be so tight that it would snag as the dish turns.
I did ask Robert Jackson the original installers for a price for fitting a dual lnb at Lincoln and was quoted £200+ for a back to base job so I thought .....
Any help gratefully accepted, now why have I got all these screws left? oh:
