Two receivers

**Bulld0g**

Right, had my TM5400 for a few weeks now and now i'm thinking of getting a dreambox. Is it possible to have both receivers connected to my dish. If so, how do i set it up.
I have a motorised dish.

You will need a twin LNB, one for each reciever. Only one receiver can control the motor though so you will need to decide receiver you will be using to control the dish. The non controlling reciever can only watch the channels on the satellite the other reciever has driven the dish to or parked.

Or with some DB models you can loop the LNB through, which will even allow a limited about of concurrent viewing (depends on the sat, polarity, band etc of the two channels you want to view). However I would not rely on this, but it works fine for using at separate times - but make sure you switch the disequ of on the second box as they will confuse any switch/rotor etc.
