dstv pvr with single lnb

It will work, but not with 100% functionality. If you can, upgrade!

EPG = Electronic Program Guide

eventually i will because wifey will want xtraview in the room. but for now splitting and getting hd for the euros and olympics is my priority! after my bundle of joy arrives and things calm down a bit i will look at the xtraview and dual lnb install.

but like i said HD for the sports coming up!!

You can split a single LNB into 2x and connect both on your PVR. You'll only be able to record or watch if the channels you're watching/recording have different polarisation.

I'm running a single LNB split into 2x at home atm. The SO gets VERY irate when her stories don't record in the background. So much so, she sets an autotune with every record. So yes - you're really down to 1 channel.

lol. sounds like a party! wifey is not so into tv so hopefully i can get away with it in the medium term! as long as she gets her greys fix she are happy!
