-----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: vdr-bounces@linuxtv.org [mailto:vdr-bounces@linuxtv.org] För Theunis Potgieter Skickat: den 15 oktober 2009 10:28 Till: VDR Mailing List Ämne: [vdr] Setup more than 4 tuners to the same satellite

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
