Hi and thanks for being out there and letting me join the site. I have very basic knowledge of setting up dish lnb and receivers, for myself and family over the years, I expect ive done 10. All fairly straight forward installations, on sky system or freesat, in england on my house in France. I have an in-law that does translation, and likes to keep up with french and german channels, and he asked me if he could have 2 receivers in different parts of the house. I said yes, he had a sky quad j4l with only 1 port being used, so i installed a new twin cable from dish to conservatory, and installed 2 Strong srt 7404 receivers, one in conservatory and one to replace old unit in lounge, both which have tnt card readers built in and used. Both receivers are showing 98 to 99 strength and quality. and appear to work independently very well. However he says that trying to record sometimes one locks up says its recording and does not and actually locks. Now I, to a degree understand the switching situation and that one receiver may be calling the tune. Could anyone advice me if a change of LNB maybe to a Quattro , with independent ports is the answer, to stop the clashing. I did maybe naively replace the Sky LNB for a visableware vk4l universal LNB, but to no avail. Thanks for bearing with me on a long opening input.
