[QUOTE="Breadfan, post: 87212, member: 189184"] Hi, Having got some kit from ebay I'm planning my 1st motorised satellite installation, and could use a little advice please. I have a 1m dish with 8" actuator. I also got a very cheap Manhattan 9000 analogue receiver. I realise there's little/nothing left to watch on analogue now, but this box has a positioner on board, I plan to add an SS2 pci card for digital viewing. My (1st) question is, which is the best way to connect this system? As I see it there's two options, a) Use a twin LNB and two cable runs, one to the SS2 and the other to the Manhattan to control the dish. B) Use a single LNB and one cable then use a splitter and run short cables to each point. My preference would be option B) , as singles are about £15 cheaper than twins, the cost of the splitter itself would be offset by savings in cable. I should add here that I need to get an LNB anyway, C120 type as the dish came without one. Would option B cause me any problems? Any advice on pros & cons either way? Thanks for any help : ) Breadfan [/QUOTE]
