Hi everyone,
I've been using MP for a very long time and I am very satisfied with it - Thanks to the Team!!!
I've now upgraded to MP1.0 and now I'm finally using a TV Server config, which is working great with a single tuner setup.
From my early days I have still a SkyStar2 lying in my basement, and I now like to reintegrate it into my HTPC.
The only problem: 1 only have one cable from my LNB going to the HTPC, and there is no way I can add another one.
However, I only intend to watch Germany's most common TV Stations on Astra, they basically are on 2 horizontal transponders (Pro7 Group, RTL Group) and maybe some of the big public tv stations that are also on horizontal transponders.
Now sometimes I want to record two shows on different horizontal transponders at the same time.
Would it be possible to split the horizontal signal with the following hardware.
My only concern is to prevent hardware damage - I don't mind if I can't get some channels any more (e.g. if they are on a low or high horizontal frequency...)
Antennen-Verteiler Sat/BK, 1 Eing. 2 Ausg. - Berlin-Satshop
To prevent damage from one of the receivers, I am thinking of putting one of the following on one of the receivers:
DC-Blocker FR10 - Berlin-Satshop
Or do I have to add 2 of these (one to each receiver)?
Remember: I don't care if some channels cannot be received any more with that configuration.
The price of the components is < 10€, so my only convern is preventing damage from my tuner cards.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Heiko
