I re-joined it by using a connecter block (240v 5amp type) over the years it seemed ok, I once had a freeview recorder, also freeview on the TV and had no problems.

As I have the original LNB it’ll be ok on the dish. It’s the same dish that the Sky+ LNB was on all that changed was the Sky Q LNB.

Thanks Ed

It’s dad thinking ahead, I always thought this to be arranged by family at the time?

Thanks Graham

This all started as someone did a CD but dad couldn’t play it in the car to listen. It turned out to be mp3 tracks,
