Hi Jonathan,
No, the LNB, not sure what that stands for, is mounted on the dish. When
you record one channel and watch another, you have two LNB's. Each dish can
have up to four LNB's. So the two wires go up to the dish, they can't be in
the box, as each LNB has to receive a separate signal, in order for you to
watch different channels.
All the best

Subject: [access-uk] Sky+ question, nothing to do with visual impairment
We've got Sky+, there's two wires from the dish to the box. The guy who
installed it told me that's so you can watch one channel and record a
different one at the same time.
My question is this, I think we only have one dish, so why does there have
to be two wires. Surely there's some sort of gizmo in the dish that splits
the signal into the two wires, so why isn't this gizmo in the box? Also,
why only two and not more. I do actually want to record two channels and
watch a third some times.
