fitted 1 on a seatel coastal 20 this week

it was a new sky hd box but needed both dish inputs connected to the multi switch to work properly. as long as its the correct card for the box all channels should work fine.

We have the sky HD boxes on the yacht, just using single feeds, if you go into the menu you can turn single feed mode on here's how to do it
* Make sure your sky cable is plugged into "Dish Input 1"
* Press Services on your remote
* Press Right-Arrow and highlight "Settings"
* Press Down-Arrow and highlight "Picture"
* Press 0, 1, Select
* The "Setup" tab will now appear
* Scroll down and select the "Single Feed Mode" option
* Press the Right-Arrow and change it from 'OFF' to 'ON'
* Press the Green Button to Save the settings
* A 'Caution' message will appear... Press 'Select'
* Your system will now switch-off/reboot
* Leave it for a couple of minutes
* Press the Sky button to bring it back to life
I always see both sides of the argument, the one that's wrong and mine.....

Forgot to add this does make recording other channels impossible while watching something else, so you can only record the channel you are watching or if you set it up to record make sure its on the channel you are going to record

Something alike was discussed on the Yahoo! Answers last week, i can share a link if you want some
Some guys state that high school students opt for simple way when buy essay. Nonetheless, that can be not very easy to receive great stuff in the internet!

I got the multiroom in house then took the box and card to boat it works fine. I upgraded to hd recently sky told me to stick my card for the multiroom box to register it and I'd have the sky plus as tge multiroom. If I do that and take the sky plus box to boat can I record at sea or pause etc with jus the one cable

Robbbie She can get the card linked to another box by phoning Sky Customer Services
Some people accuse me of thinking the world revolves around me, but it doesn't. It revolves around the Sun which shines out of my arse.
