Hi Guys. At the minute I have a sly mini dish and also a 60cm monoblock on 19.2 and 13. Obviously there are 2x cable feeds into my house (one from each dish). What I'm wanting to know is, is there any way I can buy a receiver that has 2x satelitte inputs enableing me to watch either satellites whenever I want. Obviously id need a ........ aswell and wouldnt mind someone pointing me in the right direction. Many Thanks in advance

Just edited you post my friend we cannot talk about anything to do with C/S full stop. As for your question yes a twin tuner will work one feed for 28.2? east and one feed for your monoblock

vu solo2 or vu duo or tm twin can do this

almost any receiver can use all sats without the need for two inputs. By using a diseqc switch. I'm not sure how this would work with the monoblock as I'm assuming it has internal diseqc. So the setup may be a bit tricky. I'm sure someone will be able to elaborate.

It can be done via a 2 way splitter 1 cable from the monoblock and then 2 out from the 2 way splitter into a now needed 4/1 diseqc switch so you would have Monoblock on Input A for 13? east Input B for 19.2? east and input C for 28.2? east

Its as simple as that

Ah so just turn the monoblock back into two single output lnb. That's one to remember incase I ever end up getting landed with one of these

Make sure that you use a splitter that has a dc passthrough on both outputs. Although I think the vast majority of splitters do this, I have seen ones with dc passthrough on only 1 output, and some with no dc passthrough at all.

Hi, I have some old satellite boxes and when I scan my monoblock (Eutelsat 16 and hotbird 13) they only find the Hotbird channels. would the 2 way splitter and 4/1 diseqc solve that problem? The channels are there, I can see them on boxes which where tuned in when I used two separarte dishes.

Please comment. Thanks, Arthur
