The info is just a phone call away.

Hi ; There are several ways to connect the Vast receiver and foxtel boxes, the easy way is just to change over the cable, the next way is to replace your lmb with a duel lmb as Yuglamron has posted. The problem is that most of the foxtel boxes has duel inputs that allow you to record on channel while watching another. What i have done in the past is to replace the lmb with a quad lmb. This has provisions for 4 coax cables, 1 for the vast service and the other 2 for foxtel, while the forth can be a spare or go two a second vast receiver or be used for alignment of the dish when setting up.
There is another way and that is to use a satilight switch, but the cost and complexity of that type of set up is a bit involved for the average person with out the proper sat meter.

Hi, I use both the "SatKing" box and "Foxtel" box! On the rear of the SatKing box you will find an input jack & an output jack, with my twin LMB I have 1 lead into my SatKing box and 1 into my Foxtel box and loop from the output jack on my SatKing box onto the input jack on my Foxtel box. Refer photo attached, hope this helps!

using a vast satelite dish what is the best way to hook up a fox box for fox viewing
As far as I was aware you need a twin LNB for Vast/Foxtel.
Satplus is a company that lots of Grey Nomads use and this is a link to the LNB you would need.
