My System: TVB Pace
Split to 2 receivers and multi lnb bracket

Hi

I am planning an installation still but some things are still not so clear as I cannot seem to find what i am looking for in the online shops.

I am planning to get 9e,13e and 28e.

I think we connect up the 3 lnbs with a disecq switch, but the switch only has 1 output. Is there a recommended disecq switch with more than one output?

Hence what is the best way to split the signal to two receivers.

Will the 2 receivers have independant control of all the lnbs?
Also as I don't have a triax dish, are there any recommended multi lnb brackets,

thanks,,

Well

To do what you are proposing and get the independent functionality you require you will need three twin lnb's and two disecq switches. Although I would suggest buying three quads so that you have room for future expansion or built in redundancy as twin lnb's are not as common or readily available as quads.

My System: TM6800HD, TM1000, TM600 Linux,TM5200, TM2200 motor, Triax TD110 dish + Fortec 85cm. Meter=Satlook Micro+G2 NIT

Two twins and a Sky quad LNB would be a fair compromise.

Sky quads are dirt cheap and would work fine as an offset on a non-sky dish, 40mm neck twin LNBs are readily available, it's only twin LNBs for Sky dishes that you can't get hold of.

Ksate, it would be useful if you updated your profile with what sisez dish and make you have.

thanks for the tips.

setup not so great at the moment, just a basic install, 60 cm dish dunno what make, and tvb pace box in italian language, can't change to english.

so essentially new system will be an overhaul with tvb turning off their signal on astra 19.
