Humax 2nd lnb.
I have been using my Humax freesat PVR connected to a single lnb. Was talking to my neighbour today. He has n unused connection on his Sky quad. Our dishes are three feet apart. Could I run a cable from his dish to my box?

Thanks Dave. Think I'll give it a miss to be on the safe side.

Yes and no. You would need to make sure the dish is earth bonded by a competent electrician. If as is highly likely (and usual) your mains power supply is on a different mains power phase to your neighbour. Any serious electrical faults on electrical equipment connected to the satellite receivers (TVs, amplifiers or anything with a common signal earth that is not actually connected to earth) could cause a hazardous and potentially lethal 400 plus volt on equipment at the other house. Correctly earth bonded then no problem.

That's because each dish is connected to one house rather than two houses,

So how does that work Dave, I have yet to see a Sky installation with earth bonding on a dish.

eddie I know of one case where a Sky contractor fed 3 houses off one dish with no earth bonding. He was touting around for a fourth which is how I found out about it. |

Thanks for the information guys.
Presumably then this is also required for installations on multi occupancy buildings where each unit (flat) has its own metered supply. |
