I currently have a twin LNB on a single dish. I have read through some old threads but could not find what I was looking for. I need some advice on how to setup more than 4 tuners ( example 6 ) to see the same satellite with the same dish. I can only change the LNB and add cables and/or multiswitch/diseq.
I did read http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Sat_antenna
But I'm still not sure what I should get
Should I get a 8x8 LNB ( http://www.ellies.co.za/index.php?id=548 ) and each card plugs in directly to this LNB?
Or do I need to get a Quad LNB ( http://www.ellies.co.za/index.php?id=547 ) and add to that a multiswitch/diseq type ( http://www.ellies.co.za/index.php?id=795 ) ?
Or should I keep my existing TwinLNB and simply add this http://www.ellies.co.za/index.php?id=796 ?
Thanks for any advice in advance. Theunis

Hi. What you want is a "Quattro" LNB and a 4-to-8 (or 5-8) Multiswitch, not a quad LNB. Then you can use up to eight independently operating tuners. /Magnus H

Is a Quad LNB good if you only have 4 tuners?

Yes, and that's what I have. I have considered stepping it up a notch, though. /Magnus
