Derek, your simple idea sounds fantastic, I really would like to recommend that to all these users. Well, we all would have done that already, be sure ... ;-) Unfortunately the reality is little bit more difficult, one COAX cable is not enough to cover all needs for receiving satellite signal. It's enough to power one DVB card (or two in case of device bonding), if there's proper infrastructure on the other end of the cable, delivering all needs for SAT receiption. Unlike terrestric or cable signals, you cannot just split one COAX cable for satellite signals. Each DVB-S/S2 card does need to control individualy its parameters to receive a specific transponder/channel. So it's possible to mount a splitter, but VDR must be able to control that. VDR can do exactly that with device bonding aka LNB sharing ... fnu _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org https://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
