New Sly Q box

would reckon it will work straight from the new box once boxid entered for premium stuff

The SkyQ box ID will I think be the serial number converted to HEX but cannot be sure.

What is certain is that when you have Sky/Q installed, they change the LNB so it is not compatible with anything else. The way Skyq works is to have the entire band of 10.7-12.75GHz horizontal down one feed and 10.7-12.75GHz vertical down the other feed. There is NO 22kHz switch so I very much doubt if any of it would work on an existing setup.

Once you have SkyQ done, I would be interested to know if either of the individual feeds work on a linux box and if they do not, you will need to get your LNB changed again to take both types. There are ways of doing that but the long and short of it is that the SkyQ box works with one type of LNB and everything else works with traditional setup.

Please keep us posted.

You need to tell sky when your ordering skyq that you require a legacy lnb to be fitted so that you can still connect other receivers.... they will only do it if you ask them too.

Its not a legacy lnb you need for sky q and standard stb's as that wouldn't be compatible for sky Q. its a hybrid lnb you need to ask for. There will likely be an extra charge for that as its more expensive.

I thought sky and Oscam had to be paird with a sd set top box.

Does oscam work with HD channels when paired to a HD box?
