[QUOTE="Frisbee78, post: 529550, member: 294165"] Hi all, New to this forum to get your thoughts on my planned setup as it has been 15 years since I last played with satellite equipment. Anyways, here’s the plan: I would like to receive the FTA/FTV channels in English, French and Dutch from the satellites at 28.2°, 19.2° and 23.5°E. I would also like to view and record programs simultaneously from any of these satellites (i.e. watch a program from 28.2 and record something on 19.2). I’d want the recording to be digital lossless and if the receiver was HD capable, all the better. Since I live in Scotland and would like the most reliable signal possible without filling for a planning application, I am considering a 90cm dish with 3, or 4 twin or quad LNBs (could set the 4th one on 13°E). The Triax TD 88 seems to come with decent brackets to which mount some 0.2dB Titanium LNBs. I was then planning on feeding two of the LNBs’ outputs into a pair of DISEQC 4-in-1 to mix the 4 LNBs into the two tuners of the receiver. Check this diagram to see what I’m on about: _http://repository.sepiro.com/sat.jpg However, an article at the bottom of this page claims that this setup would not work: _http://www.satellitesuperstore.com/multisat.htm. Can anybody confirm this claim? I don’t really fancy dishing out £300 for a 17-in-6-out multiswitch where a couple of DISEQC 4-in-1 will do. As for the receiver, since I’d need to decrypt FTV channels from Sky, the choice is limited as a Sky+ box can’t deal with the DISEQC and no, there’s no way I’d pay Sky £10 a month just to use their box as a recording device anyway. So with the need for dual tuner, DISEQC, CAM, HD support, and PVR functionality, looks like I need a Dreambox 8000… Great… :-anvil [/QUOTE]
