Thanks Kymmy, but you haven't really answered all my question (don't forget you are dealing with a thick ex-matelot here - not a bright and intelligent crab!). What is "shotgun" cable? Is running extra cable and connecting into the back of a freesat box all I have to do?

Thanks Chris. Also see my latest reply to Kymmy's offering (typical RAF - never give you the whole story!!)
