[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 721828, member: 176256"] Hi Sadie I was trying to find out how the two receivers are connected to the LNB on the satellite dish. Each receiver needs a separate lead to the dish and the LNB needs to be multi output type (usually four) in order to supply the separate feeds. Sometimes people think that a single LNB ouput can be split into two (like a TV earial) and sometimes a receiver, as well as having a connection on the back to the LNB also has an "LNB out" socket which can be fed to another receiver. Unfortunately neither of these is particularly effective and you end up having to do exactly as you describe - switch one box off in order to use the other - amongst other things. You need to look at the cable(s) from the dish to see where they go. The situation with the card is no surprise. A Sky card needs to be periodically placed in a genuine Sky receiver in order to get its "stay alive" signal. About 4 - 6 weeks seems to be the most a card can go in a foreign box. At least this was the case with old blue cards; the new white cards do not seem to work in a lot of the foreign boxes htat the blue ones used to. You may not get a white carrd to work in the Tevhnomate at all. [/QUOTE]
