Depending what satellites and channels you're after (by your references to LNB1 and LNB2 I've assumed you're not just trying to receive only one satellite) you might want to go with something like --><a href="http://www.freeviewshop.co.nz/input-output-satellite-multiswitch-p-51.html" target="_blank">this</a><-- as a second step so that each satellite receiver/tuner can see both satellites. The limit with that particular item is that you can only get one polarity from each satellite. Better would be a full blown multiswitch but those are a little more expensive.You're mistaken there as far as I'm aware. Check the <a href="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/11_Preparing_Your_System/01_Supported_TV_Cards" target="_blank">supported card page</a> in our wiki - it explicitly says we don't yet support DiSEqC for Blackgold tuners. I have what is effectively a BGT3540 and DiSEqC does not work with vanilla MP 1.2.x. I don't think the 3600 would be any different.I guess the question is where do you intend to put the splitters that feed the sink devices because you've said you've got at least four devices to feed but only two coax cables. Even considering the satellite feeds you would need more than just a basic DiSEqC switch to be able to feed both satellites to more than one satellite receiver/tuner. Each DiSEqC switch can only feed one independent receiver/tuner, and they need their own feeds from each satellite. In other words, to feed two satellites to two independent satellite receivers with a DiSEqC switch (not multiswitch) you'd need four cables and two DiSEqC switches.UHF + FM is relatively simple once it is combined because you can split it to as many receivers as you like (within the limits of SNR). That is not true of satellite of course. I'd combine the UHF and FM on the roof.mm</blockquote>
