I just moved into a new complex and they only have a single LNB dish installation available, I’m struggling to configure how to connect my SD PVR so that all the channels are working at the same time. As I will only be staying here for 6 months, it is not worth the effort and cost to upgrade to a dual LNB, as the body corporate is not willing to pay for the expenses.
My process so far:
I firstly connected the single cable from my dish to my VER connector, and was able to view some channels (Mnet, SuperSport, MnetMovies, etc.). I then connected the single line to the HOR connector and was now able to view other channels (BBC channels, Discover, etc.). I however are unable to view the HOR channels if the cable is connected to the VER connector, and vice versa.
Secondly I got myself a 2 channel splitter, with this installation I was unable to connect to any services. I guess that the channel splitter only have the option of either tuning to the VER or HOR frequencies, so if I connect the second cable of the splitter to the other connector the single become scrambled.
Then my search on the internet stated. I read a couple of Forums on mybroadband and according to them the 2 channel splitter should work. I also found a forum where you change your dish installation setup to include multiple networks on different frequencies, tried it didn’t work.
Can anybody please advise me if it is even possible to connect the SD PVR to the single LNB.
Note: I only have one TV at this point so it would not bother me to lose my Extra View functionality. But preferable I would still like to use the PVR functions.
