[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 873517, member: 82144"] Hi Bobsofa I'm sorry to read about your problem. :( It sounds like the tuner is not able to supply stable power to the LNB (the SkyStar HD2 requires the power connector for this). There are also certain splitters that only pass power to the LNB from one of the tuners, and STB loop out connectors usually require the STB to be turned on in order to get signal. I assume you know all these things... You have a few options for a replacement: - DD Cine S2 (similar to Mystique SaTiX-S2 V2 CI Dual) - TeVii S480 - Mystique SaTiX-S2 Sky Xpress DUAL - TBS 6981 (or 6984 for 4 tuners) - Blackgold BGT3600 (if you also wanted DVB-T/2 tuners) I don't think you can go very far wrong with most of those options, although I have only actually tested the TeVii (which I think is a little slow at zapping). Do you need a CI/CAM slot? About the LNB question: yes, ideally you should have one LNB output per tuner (unless you have a Unicable LNB). You could use a splitter but I don't recommend it - a splitter would mean one tuner would determine which channels the other tuners could access. A multiswitch might be a better option. mm [/QUOTE]
