If you're having only one cable and it's really SAT, you either have a
central-receiving-system ("Kopfstation"  = german) which moves a selected
set of channels into cable-frequencies, or it's frequency-shifting
("Frequenz-versatz" = german)-solution.

If it's a digital frequency-shiftung solution controllable by Diseqc 1.0 you
have good chances to get it working with a Sat-ZF-splitter ("Sat-ZF-Weiche"
= german), which splits up the one cable into the number you need.

If it's analogue or no real Sat-solution, you won't get it running with VDR.

Ask your landlord, post the answer and we'll see ...
