I know there are lots of these threads, but dont like hijacking other peoples threads, so started mine new.
Getting the HD PVR tomorrow. We currently have the old 1110 decoder setup in the lounge to our HD TV, and its also connected to a CRT TV in the bedroom. I called the DSTV installer we normally use, but they have left me a little confused. They said the 1110 can be hooked up for dual view / extra view. I get that, so thats kewl. Told them that I wanted both decoders in lounge and to then use one of those blasters in the bedroom to change channels, so we dont have to run to lounge to change all the time.
1. They said to add the 1110 to the HD PVR, I must get another point installed. This is what I dont get? Surely we already have the extra point installed as we watch DSTV in the bedroom currently on our 1110 decoder, which sits in the lounge? Am I right that we dont need a extra point installed as we already have one?
2. They want to add a twin LNB, and a multiswitch for the HD PVR. Thats fine...but have heard ppl here mention something about not using a switch...to rather run the 4 cables as is in the pvr. Apparently the signal is stronger this way? I searched for more info on this, but couldnt find any. Is what I said right, can someone give more detailed info on this?
Thank you
