General Discussion Area / Re: How to join two satellite co oax cables?

If you just want to relocate a single Sky box to another room (which I believe is what you meant) You just need a pair of "F" type connectors and an "F" type barrel to join them.
These are the plugs : http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?TabID=1&DOY=search&ModuleNo=10447&criteria=
And this is the barrel:

The plugs just screw onto the ends of the coax once you've cut and stripped it. The centre conductor of the cable forms the connector pin.
If you want a second Sky box in another room, however, you will need a dual LNB on the dish. Alternatively, you can run the RF output from the Sky box into another room and get a little gadget that forwards remote control commands back to the main box, so you can still change channels, etc.

Still 6 cylinders but that horrid PRV V6 lump from the De Lorean days!
