[QUOTE="fitzy75, post: 833732, member: 29770"] Hey guys A friend of mine has recently moved house to a place which only has a single output sky dish (no normal TV aerial on the house) and without thinking I gave him one of my spare DVB-S tuners to use it with as he previously used DVB-T at his old house. After a bit of playing and thinking, I now realise that the tuner doesn't put out any power to the LNB (maybe some tuners do but this particular Kworld model and my Pinnacle 7010ix don't, as far as I know). In my house, we have a sky box downstairs that powers the LNB, but at my friends house he can't do this with a single output LNB. Does anyone have any solutions to this problem? His kids are driving him crazy without the TV for them to watch. We are good with electronics and could easily build up a circuit if we knew what was required or had a schematic to work from, failing that, is there such a thing as a 'power injector' that would sit between the tuner and the dish? He's on a very tight budget so the cheaper the better really. Any advice appreciated :) [/QUOTE]
