hi i have 2 sky recievers each with thier own card i got a splitter which the guy said should work to split the signal and watch diff channels but it seems i can only watch channels on the same polarity like movies on one and say discovery on another but i cant get some channels says no signal. so i take it the splitter cant do the job will a dual output lnb do it or can someone recommend something better.
thanx in advance

A twin or quad LNB is what you want. :)

When using a splitter, you don't just have the polarity mismatch, but also the low and high band mismatch.:)

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

Don't forget double the amount of voltage going up to the LNB or to each box... :rolleyes:
