Connecting another STB to a dual LNB setup?

[grolschie]

Hi there,

What are ways to do this? Does one need dual output LNBs? Multi-switches? Or can one simply daisy chain another STB from the main STB on its LNB-Out? Pros and cons? Thanks in advance.

cheers,

If you are wanting the ozzy feeds to work on both STBs you will need a dual output LNB . if you are not worried about the ozzy feeds you can stack them using LNB out. or for a separate room use a power pass splitter both ports

Both STBs to watch Freeview on D1, and foreign stuff on B3. Aussie stuff on D1 is not a big deal.

A multiswitch is the way to go then.

dual lnb feeding a multiswitch is the ideal solution. the oz ch can be more interesting than the whole of freeview.
