That's real good hint, thanks, but:

What if the LNB is not owned by him?
What if the owner still uses an analog receiver and insists 
on keeping it?


IIRC the Disicon can/could(?) only mix some (two?) transponders, 
not "all".
That gives of cause the majority of german TV programs.

i find any i use that is not present.


There will come restrictions "lnb-share" requires too, 
when rotor mangement will be involved.
"something" must prevent turning the dish while recording
in in progress on the current position.
That's the same "don't switch polarity/frequency"
if a recording is running.
