Sky + Box using 1 Satellite Cable?

[Graham Naylor]

Hi,

On our multi-room Sky connection we have been using an old Sky box (pre
recording days) which only uses one satellite cable, this box has now died
after many years use but we do have a Sky+ box that we used to use in the
living room before we upgraded to HD. Is it possible to use this Sky+ box
with one satellite cable just for watching Sky and not recording and if so
which of the two connectors should we use for the satellite cable?

Many thanks

Graham

Apparently its a bit of a fiddle but if you're not recording then less

yes you can - input one should do it.

put it into single input mode.

Thanks, I'll give it a go later in the week and see how it goes.
