Multiple HD Boxes on Sky?

I was with Sky digital for over 4 years when last march i decidedto have all my bills under one company (i had internet and phone with virgin media)

I have got 2 V+ boxes and a regular cable boxin the house.


After many problems and lack of HD content, i am wanting to return to sky, is it possible to have 2 hd boxes and a seperate 'normal' box using sky? If so, how much would this cost

Thanks in advance

Re: Multiple HD Boxes on Sky?

One issue would be the number of LNB connections AFAIK HD requires the same as SKY+ which is two feeds (unless you don't want recording on one box) so you'd need 5 connections at least - most LNB's are 4 max. So this might mean another dish or a 2nd arm/LNB config.

Octo LNB's (8 outputs) are also available from Sky when necessary.
