sat setup query

[hambone]

hi guys
just an easy one to bring in the new year:rolleyes:
i have 2 single lnb dishes - 19.2e and 28.2e
currently they are connected to an ipbox 900hd via a standard 4 way disecq switch internally at the reciever and all is fine.
i am awaiting delivery of a brand new vu+solo2 as a replacement for the ipbox (which is working ok but has its own issues).
what i would like to do is put the ipbox in the bedroom so i want to know if it is possible to run the two boxes together?
the ipbox is single tuner which i think is loopthrough in and out.
the eagerly awaited vu+ has 2 tuners so i am unsure how the boxes could be connected.
would it be as simple as running a cable from the reciever port of the disecq switch to the ipbox lnb in then another from the lnb out of the ipbox to the solo2 tuner a in?
both boxes dont need to be on at once.
also does the solo2 have an internal loopthrough to connect 1 cable input from a disecq switch with 2 sats on it?
any help appreciated

you will have to run as you rightly put it from the loop out of the ipbox as the Solo2 has no loopout connectors, the internal loopthrough on the solo2 is done by connecting to LNB input 2 and setting LNB 1 as the loop.

ok thanks digi
would there be any problems using the solo2 if the ipbox (which will be the pimary box as it will have the main disecq input), is on at the same time as the solo2 or vice versa?

It will act the same way as any loopout the primary box takes control unless placed in standby.

are boxes in different parts of house,say main viewing room and adding the bedroom next?do you have spare outputs on your lnbs to add extra cable and add another disecq ?
