Do you have Oyster and Sky+ ?

[Xoxoc]

If you do, how do you use it? Do you have a twin lnb or do you just use the standard one and if so how do you use the recording function etc.?

Thanks

You need the twin LNB to record & watch another channel or record 2 channels.

When I had the system fitted I found I was only getting one feed to the Sky+ box despite having twin LNB.

You have to press AV or F1 on the Oyster remote depending on which one you have. That gives 2 feeds to the Sky+ box.

I also find that I need to have both feeds to get all channels on the Sky box.

I'm not too bothered about recording one channel and watching another - nor recording two things at once, unless of course it is simple and cheap to upgrade to twin lnb

Just want to know what I can do with one lnb, which input is best to conecct to on the sky+ box and if there is anything special to do

Hi Brains
the answer is quite simple
if your not willing to upgrade to a twin L:NB then your sky + box can only be used as a normal skybox, no recording and one channel only via LNB 1 on the back of the box, as you know I have the superior Crystop system and a sky -

I have been looking at buying an automatic dish for our SKY+ box, Oyster etc

I've been told the Kathrein’s system as twin LNB but the dish uses one of the LNB to alignment purposes, so this is no good for sky+

Right now we have a standard 43cm sky dish and a tripod which we use with the SKY+ HD box. One of the 2 inputs is used for the EPG and the other for the second recording as previously mentioned.

I am buying the Crystop dish, i recommend RoadPro .I contacted many vendors on this topic, some replied, some didnt, but I have exchanged many mails with Andrew Harris of RoadPro on the topic of SKY+ and automatic dishes. These guys really know their stuff!

Hi Brian
Just had sky plus hd fitted to our van.If you only have a single feed lnb as you say you cannot do 2 at once but it is an easy set up,connect the sat feed to input 2 then go into settings and select single feed.Hope this helps.

You can still record using a single feed to a Sky+ box, but it takes some extra planning.
Anything that's scheduled to record will default to the feed that you're not watching (i.e. the one that doesn't exist) so you'll get a failed recording. To get around this you need to schedule a recording that you don't need to start before the one that you actually want to make, so that the Sky+ box will be forced to use your live feed. Hope this makes sense.
