[QUOTE="DennisOlof, post: 970898, member: 137830"] I don't know about MP, but your question is more hardware related. Either you use Unicable / SCR (same thing), but your TV-card or STB must support it, the standard does support 8 channels, but most LNBs only have 4 channel output and "one or two" legacy LNB ports. Another option is to use a stacker / destacker but it is expencive and is limited to cable length, i think there are two versions, 30meters or 60meters. So becaus of the price, unicable would be a better choise as you get four individual channels from the the LNB. You can then use a four-way splitter for satellite signals with DC pass, and give the DVB-S2 card two cables, and then have the option to give one or two cable to a STB, depending on what STB you have (must support unicable). And then have two smartcards, one for the computer, "CA-module and smartcard" for a CI-slot, or use a smartcard reader with USB and softcam instead. And use the other smartcard for the STB. That way if computer breaks down you use the STB with smartcard to watch stuff (if you have two cards) or move the smartcard from the computer to the STB. Or if you have someone else in the house that just wants to watch regular programing with a standard STB. [/QUOTE]
