FREESAT CONNECTION TO SKY EXCLUSIVE.

The Grundig Gufsat 01 HD digital box can be connected to the new Sky box.
To connect the Freesat box and the Sky box together is a simple single cable solution. If both boxes are powered at the same time only the Freesat can be viewed, but as we all know it is not advisable to power them at the same time although this could easily be done in error by anyone forgetting to switch off one of the receivers on switchover to view something on either box.
Please not; do this at your own risk although the design of the Grundig with the LNB IN and LNB OUT can only be for this purpose.
If you view the graphic the cable procedure is quite straightforward.
The coax cable that come from the LNB within the satellite dish fixes into the LNB IN point of the Grundig Gufsat 01 HD digital box connection.
From the LNB OUT connection of the Grundig Gufsat 01 HD digital box a cable with both ends capped with F-Connectors, one screwed into the LNB out port of the Gufsat and one screwed into the Sky box single SKY in point. The cable length was tested as shown in the graphic and we also tested it using a piece of coax. approx. 10 mtrs long.
Both work flawlessly. This is excellent news for those with existing Sky systems or other satellite systems as this is an even more affordable upgrade path to Freesat TV from the BBC/ITV platform.
The way it works is as follows;
depending on which satellite platform you wish to view; ie; either Freesat or Sky once the coax cables are set as shown it's a simple case of switching on your chosen remote control to power up your chosen box, making sure the other box is left in standby.
The set-up on the graphic shows that the Grundig Gufsat 01 HD digital box is wired as the master, and the Sky box as the slave.
We could find no degradation in either the Grundig Gufsat 01 HD digital box or the Sky Thomson box, both worked as normal.

Conclusion;
The BBC research and inovation team along with the Grundig design team have given us a winning non obtrusive small satellite receiver which delivers a perfect high quality performance. All from a single LNB and cable solution!...excellent!

GRUNDIG GUFSAT AUTO UPDATE GUIDE.

Grundig Gufsat screen showing update procedure.
This screen is visible when starting the Freesat receiver for the first time and any future auto updates the box will make.
The update takes about ten minutes or so and the box will re-boot itself.
This makes the Freesat boxes (all kinds) very user friendly for the non-technical as the receiver does everything itself.
