SKY HD Octo LNB

[chris_h16]

Hi
New here so bare with me.

I am currently with Sky but are just going to take up Sky HD and take Multiroom.
I want a Octo LNB and have seen a few around, the best ones being on the creativesatellite website. I currently have a normal 43cm Sky Minidish. I live in the Northeast of England and thinking of upgrading the dish to a 60cm dish.

My question is do i have to buy one of the 'Sky' Octo LNB's for it to work correctly with the oval minidish or can i use one of the other LNB's? If so would it be worthwhile getting this dish i have seen here instead of the 60cm minidish.


Scroll down to the circular 60cm dish.

Thanks in advance

A conventional LNB "shouldn't" work with a sly dish and visa-versa because of the illuminated area of the oval dish.
However, I have a conventional twin on sly dish and it works flawlessly.

A 60cm dish will work fine with sky, just get an lnb to fit it with as many outputs as you need.
