dont really want to give them any more money for a second subsciption
Also will the coax from the LNB split into two digiboxes ?

It can be but it won't work.

You need a dual or quad lnb on your dish (lnb is the little block on the end
of the stick facing outwards). The current lnb gives 1 output. dual lnb
gives 2 outputs and quad gives 4. 1 output/input needed per digibox. For 2
boxes, if a box needs 1 dish input you need a dualk LNB and there will be a
2 cables from the dish, one cable to each box.

Hm. Think about it - if any old schmoe could copy a Sky card, don't
you think that rather a lot of people would be doing it already?
The answer is no. If you want your Sky channels in another room you
need a mirror subscription. £15 per month.

Not in any usable fashion, no. But if you take out a mirror
subscription Sky will sort all that out for you anyway.

Only if you are prepared to always watch channels on the slave box
that are in the group being watched on the main box.

Digibox problem? : A reboot solves 90% of these.

Only the truth as I see it.
No monies return'd. ;-)

Theres no point anyway, ISTR that the card is related to the box, if you
copied the card and put it in another box, the box would see that it not
provisioned for it and wouldn't work anyway. Hence if you buy a new box, you
have to ring sky to enable it, if you enabled the copied card then the other
box would stop working
Its all pointless cause you cant copy the card anyway!!
As others have said you'll need a multi way LNB.
I have a philips Quad LNB on mine and I'm very pleased with it, aparantly
the installer said that the grundig or cambridge dual jobbies don't seem to
last very long, the philips wasn't that much more expensive, so I had three
drops and a spare way.
Cost about £100 plus fitting, I'll be buggered if I'm climbing up on the
roof!!

Better still find a mate and use his and pay Sky nothing.
