The Twin digital LNC allows you to connect 2 receiver.
You dont need a switch to use it with 2 receiver - everything is 
included in the LNC.
It is not possible to connect 4 receiver to the twin digital LNC.


If you want to connect 4 receivers with satellite you need
- a LNC with 4 connections for operation with multiswitch
- a 5/4 multiswitch

From the LNC went 4 cables to the multiswitch (the 5th one is for "normal" 
television&radio over terrestrical antenna) .
And there are 4 outputs (each for one receiver).


(remark: There exists a line-sharing patch for VDR - but you may have some 
restrictions - please ask the list for more details)
