I have connected the old box downstairs and receive the free channels but upstairs Im connecting via built in Ariel socket not made for f connectors but i got a cable that connects to the wall socket and the box. Tho its only connecting to one dish input on the sky box but it suld still work?? I connected it to one of the wires in the loft that's coming from the dish to my sky box downstairs but it won't work, any ideas? Thanks

If i connect the second hand box to LNB 1 on the dish and move the downstairs box dish connectors to another 2 connections on the LNB will the up stairs box receive the free channels and my sky box downstairs receive my sky subscription, as long as i have a full connection to the upstairs box without using the wall Ariel socket?
Im making this sound complicated lol hope u kinda no what Im trying to say
thanks

Both r sky+ HD boxes. So cause i was using a built in coax cable wall bracket (as my house is already wired for coax Ariel) from my sky box to the dish its not working? So if i take the bracket off and connect the cable to the box and the dish it suld work? I don't really see how that would effect the signal, cause as i said before it works downstairs with the other boxes connections. I thought as long as the it had connections from the dish to the box it suld work, am i wrong?
thanks again

Yes mate but i bought a cable with a f connector and a coax connection so it goes from the box to the coax wall bracket then to the dish but it won't work do i need to take the bracket off and just connect the wire straight to the box? This has been wrecking me for ages lol
Thanks
