could you explain please how it's possible to connect 3 cards in VDR to 3 LNB's for Hotbird, Sirius, Astra for example with DiSEq-Cswitch
Simple diagram, using quad-lnb's, input of lnbs are called as HB-1, HB-2, HB-3, HB-4 SI-1, SI-2, S1-3, SI-4 AS-1, AS-2, AS-3, AS-4

Hi, does that really work, or am I misunderstanding a quad-LNB? I though the the 4 outputs of a quad LNB are hi/V lo/V hi/H and Lo/H. Or is that a quattro LNB? So what you are saying is that a quad LNB can supply any of the 4 "freqs/polarization" down any of its 4 connections? Any if required the same signal down all 4 connections?
Should work, because twin or quad or octal lnbs actually have multiple tuners inside the lnb. Typically twin, quad or octal lnbs are used when there are several settopboxes in the house.
