Yes... so do hundreds of German speaking customers who have endlessly complained about it in Sat forums. I am possibly getting close to a solution. Time will tell.

I have tested the setup using a USB computer receiver. Works perfectly, all switching as expected. The problem appears to lie with the Humax iCord having switching issues. I am now following this line of query, but having little luck of finding a real solution. Does anyone have experience with...

Hi Topper, My diagrams are on paper, but I have found one online that is exactly as my setup: _http://www.satlex.us/en/4participants-type_conf_4p_3s_quad.html The LNBs are definitely Quad. The guy at the store here is an old fart and I don't feel like he has a clue what he is on about. He is...

Thanks for your reply... In the meantime I visited a Conrad shop and they assure me that you simply cannot use quad LNBs with 4 in 1 switches (apparently because they also have switches in them) but that is hogwash right? Anyway, just to be clear... when testing with the switch I have had just...

I am in the process of setting up a system that involves an 80cm dish, 3 Quad LNB's, Four 4x1 switches, and 4 receivers. For testing, I have been using a single port on an LNB at a time and running this straight to the Humax iCord. I have perfect reception and am pleased with alignment. The...

I am about to set up a system with support for up to 4 satellites feeding up to 4 receivers. I understand that I could do this via two methods: I use Quad LNBs and have 4 x 4.1 switches, each feeding a receiver... or I use Quattro LNBs with a 17.4 (or even 17.8) switch. Which method would you...

Thanks Analoguesat... off to shops. Can't wait!

Hi Team, I am about to embark on building my system, but then yesterday I read somewhere (another forum I think) that ITV was removed from Astra2d. Even worse... when I look at the official SES-Astra website channels list, ITV2 is not listed as a channel. However, on Lyngsat and Kingofsat...

Thanks for your timer and the diagram. So, if I understand this right... without using the DiseqC switches each tuner on the receiver would only be capable of displaying the feed from one satellite, therefore possible restricting what can be recorded or watched at any given time. So do the...

These are exactly to sort of questions I am struggling with. Are you able to point me to a website with a nice diagram (or collection of diagrams) that illustrate the options, and different parts that might come into play? The receiver I am looking at has two receivers built in... so I am not...

Thanks for letting me know the differnce. One of the difficulties with looking at these products on Swiss shop shelves. They give you descriptions in 3 languages, but mostly not English. Mental note: Quad, not Quattro. Aside from this... am I on the right track then?

My intention is just to start with two twin cable feeds running to 2 TVs, each with a Humax Twin Receiver. The reason for thinking Quattro's is just to have ability to add TVs later. Would I better off using a multiswitch? Don't I still need a receiver at each TV in any case?

Sorry that I have to ask such a basic question, but hours of searching on Google etc has not yielded and obvious answer. We are planning our system in Switzerland which will be aimed at both Astra2D and Hotbird8 so as to get a combination of English and German channels (we need Hotbird8 for our...
