My Satellite Setup
Errm... newbie! Wouldn't know!
My Location
Austria
hi all,

quick question - i have the opportunity to re-lay some satellite cables around the house (drilling, etc) and would like to use it to upgrade my LNB.

currently i have the following LNB mounted on a non-motorised satellite dish:
Inverto IDLP-23QDMONO Quad Monoblock LNB - 0,2dB

i would like to continue using both astra (19.2 degrees) and hotbird (13 degrees) satellites. no need to motorise the satellite antenna.

currently i have three connections going from the LNB, of which only two are used, both going to the same receiver - one as i understand digital, the other analog (?).

my question is the following: what sort of LNB do i need to be able to connect either: two separate satellite receivers in the house, both able to receive these satellites and both being able to view channels independently, or three separate satellite receivers in the house.

also, i would like to future-proof the system in as far as possible, and in particular would like to be able to be able to download data from the internet (any special parts needed for that?)

am a complete newbie so any pointers would be appreciated.
if it's of any use, the current setup is in the attached files.

Looks like you have a Quad Monobloc already there which will allow 4 feeds to receive both satellites and view channels independently. The remaining Analogue transmissions will eventually disappear so only one cable required for each receiver. To free up a feed you can of course use the one cable (for your receiver currently using for both DVB & Analogue) with a A/B switch which will save swapping over cable to tuners.
