Questions about DVB-S/ DVB-S2 and aerial Wall sockets

Could be a old analogue cable connections, they have them in Milton Keynes and a few other places were cable was installed very early on, you get 1-5 + virgin1 and a few others (hallmark) if you have a TV capable of hyperband.



LOL - Seeing as I'm Milton Keynes born and bred (Well OK that's a lie as there was no hospital in MK when I was born so I was actually born in Aylesbury) I should have thought of that. We used to get 1-5 plus 1 or 2 others piped in at UHF frequencies so you could get them on a normal TV, but that would also explain why the DVB-T is not available over the same connection.

My bad!

You mention you have 2 dishes outside, do you know what they are aimed at, same point in the sky or differnt? How many leads come off them?

Each dish will have an "LNB" at the centre of the dish, these can have one, 2, 3, 4 or more connectors. The more conenctors you use the more channels you can tune into if you have enough tuners.

Typical pc tuner cards will use one connector and lead. If you want to use watch more channels you use another tuner card and cable.

typical recent sky dishes will have a 'quad lnb' ie 4 avilable connectors, older ones probably just 2 with only one cabled up.
