[QUOTE="HB13DISH, post: 483655, member: 262829"] Good morning NDexter, I understand from your post and system that you have a a single LNB. Life would have been a lot easier if you have twin LNB and run two coaxial cables to the LNB input of each receiver: Digital and analogue as you can have them both on so that you can watch one channel and record another. With a single LNB you must switch off the digital receiver in order to make the analogue take control of the LNB. But if you decide to leave things as they are, you can use the loopthrough in the Topfield digital receiver (just make sure that it has this function) and then connect a short cable between the loopthrough output to the analogue LNB input. If the Topfield doesn't have a loopthrough, then use a special part which has an input (LNB coaxial cable) and two outputs: Digital output goes to Topfield Analogue output goes to the analogue receiver. If both receivers have a Scart connector, then connect the respective outputs to the AV inputs in your TV. If your TV has one AV input, then you can use the RF output from the Analogue or the digital receiver to the TV aerial input (the signal would not be as good as with AV) or use an AV switch (a manual one means that you would have to do a bit of exercise while watching). Another solution is to use an AV receiver, if you have one. Hope that this covers everything. If I have missed something, post again. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
