Running Bladebox simultaneously

[mrjohnno]

Hi There,

Someone told me that it wasn't a good idea to have the bm5000s running at the same time as another box through a dual antenna cable to sky dish? Just wondering if anyone had any info about this? I wanted to set up two tv's through two boxes but through the one cable so I could watch two events on at the same time?

Any info appreciated

Thanks

Depends what the other box is, if it's an official skybox then usually
you will only get a signal to one or the other if they are both switched on at the same time.

It's something to do with the voltages pulled from the LNB, they are different for both boxes, so one wins and one looses.

If you want to run two blades, or a different unofficial box at the same that should be fine.
