Two receivers one lnb output

This is the sort of thing you are looking for

No no no! Thats a recipe for all sortes of issues. Interference leaking in, short circuits, damage to the reciver and so on

Interference (signal ingress), and impedance problems, I agree.

I also would agree to accept this only as a temporary, hobbyist solution.

But short circuits, and receiver damage, I don't see that happening quickly. Normally the receivers that I've seen switch into protect mode when a cable shortage happens, without permanent damage to the receiver. So I'd like to add this as a 'nuance'.
Though I hope that @anana realizes, that there is 13 to 18 Volt on the cable!


The manual A/B switch, priority switch, or satellite splitter would absolutely be the preferred solutions.
(In the old days there were also IR-satswitches, but I don't think they can be found anymore.)

Short circuits can certainly damage some equipment - Ive fried several inputs on disecq switches over the years with accidental shorts. My 16 port switch is now a 13 port switch!

Agreed, a diseqc switch has no protective mode, and is likely to have permanent damage after a short. I've had that, too.

But receivers in my experience have never been damaged by a cable short. Have you ever had receivers with damage by cable short?

I returned things to the way they were in the beginning because the terrestrial television signal did not reach the television because I use Multiswich, which combines the Nilesat satellite, the Astra 19 satellite, and the terrestrial television in one cable.

Ahhh that's not going to work very good, two "F" connectors and an "F" barrel connector is the only way to splice RF coax for TV or satellite signals.

Not using both receivers at the same time? As Kelly Bundy said..."Vi-Ola".
No cables, no splitters, no cooked lnbf's, no roasted receiver tuners.
On the 2nd receiver (considering that it's an Enigma2) put it in client mode and map it to the master receiver.
I'm using my Os Mio4k in the living room and a Zgemma H7 in the bedroom. As long as the Os Mio is in standby, I can fully control the dish and select all channels and sats (dish mover works) with the H7. If the master receiver is on then you can only watch the current transponder channels on the client.
The H7 is Ethernet only but I have an el-cheapo wifi dongle that works like a peach on it. Not even a glitch when watching NASA UHD.
