[QUOTE="ozumo, post: 1119840, member: 415308"] SCR is a way of connecting many receivers (such as in a block of flats) to a single dish. It works by the receiver telling the LNB (or multiswitch) what frequency it requires & the LNB (or multiswitch) converting that frequency on to the channel/userband assigned to that receiver. If there are 24 userbands on a single cable, that single cable can be split to supply 24 tuners. A Sky+ box has 2 tuners, that Vu+ box has 8 I believe when using two cables. So that one cable could supply 12 Sky+ or 3 Vu+ receivers when using splitters. The splitting does not need to happen at the dish end. What most of us still use for our non-Sky Q systems is the traditional 'legacy' one cable per LNB output, to supply one tuner. I assume you previously had a Sky 'universal' octo LNB with 8 outputs, where 6 outputs were used to supply 3 Sky+ boxes, no splitters involved. [/QUOTE]
