Extending Sky Digital

My mother-in-law (who lives in France) currently has Sky digital in her
lounge with an extension off the back of the digibox up to the bedroom. She
would like to put an independent connection in the guest quarters (for
watching a different channel from the main digibox). What options does she
have? Is it possible to run another wire from the dish to the second
digibox? She doesn't have access to a Sky installer so I'm wondering what
the best solution would be.

Thanks,

- Simon.

Replace lnb with a twin or better. Run second sat cable from second output
of new lnb to a second box.

Is she allowed to have Sky Digital at all abroad?

You would need two decoders and two dishes, or similar.

Sky Digital buys the rights to programmes with the limitation that it is
available only to UK based subscribers.
