Default Sky+ LNB for Freesat HD TV?

I just want to query whether or not an extra coax feed can be taken from a
spare point on a quad sky+ LNB to allow reception of Freesat on a Panasonic
Viera Freesat HD television. Is this correct?

Is there any situation where this wouldn't be possible? Will any of the
current types of Sky+ Quad LNBs do the job, or are some not compatible with
Freesat?

Thanks a lot

Hi Rich

It worked for me no probs. If you have a spare port on your quad LNB all you
have to do is plug it in connect up and tune in using the panys auto tune
search thingy i cant rember what it is called but it is very easy to follow
the on screen menu.

all the best Jimbo

It should work fine, adding a 2nt dish could yield you some good HD stations
for free(for now). ;P

Sky is moving to a system where the LNB is going to contain a stacking unit
and once that happens then you wont be able to simply tap off of the LNB
like now.

I have asked for sat-pro's here to give me input on it if they have heard of
it, Sky says they are moving to such a system in their new receivers but
have not given any firm dates.
