think they are just clearing them mate. i have seen them on that price before but they have been at the same price for the last couple of weeks. maybe worth grabbing some in mate

 

[rocker]

I think I just may! Do you know how many outputs the LNBs have?

 

[Phil]

just the one mate

 

[Phil]

can you split them inside or do you have to have mulitple outputs on the lnb?

 

[geordie]

looks good search ross satellite kit have just reserved a couple

 

[mayfair]

Think you guys need to get into **** *****.

 

[rocker]

Phil you would need to have a multi output LNB - you can get them fairly cheap off ebay, mind.

 

[mogga]

They are doing the HD version for a great price as well

if you run the freeview straight to 6way splitter in loft, would this work to rest of rooms?? cheers if you have a

 

[rocker]

No it won't mate (freesat). If you run to a 6 way splitter AND have a reciever in each room, then you will be able to view in 1 room at a time, but not 2 or more at the same time. The good news is you can get dual, quad or even 8 way LNBs on ebay to stick on the existing dish, which means you can view in loads of rooms (you have to have a reciever in each room still). Watch out, mind, not every LNB matches every dish.

Whats wrong with a good old fashioned wireless (with valves) you know a nice antiquey one, listen to the Archers smoking a pipe, that analogue hiss gives the sound a certain je ne sais quois that digital can never NEVER compete with.
