Answer 1

Your Sky satellite dish can support up to 8 "feeds" and the total number of boxes depends on the box type which you're using. Each Sky box/Multiroom box requires a single feed/cable from the satellite. Sky+ and Sky HD boxes each require 2 feeds/cables as they both allow you to watch one channel whilst recording another at the same time.
