Hi everyone. The new Foxtel IQ4 Box requires two coaxial cables (not sure why). Does anyone know if it will work one one cable (obviously at a reduced capacity to do some actions).

Hello Whilst our van is in storage - in a shed at U Store It - what do I need to do to ensure the battery is protected - I.e. the charge cannot be maintained by the solar panel. Do I need to disconnect the battery for example? Thanks Terry
