Freesat PVR & TV cabling

[GeoffreyW]

I'm waiting for a satellite dish to be installed, for my Humax PVR and Panasonic Freesat TV, and would like confirmation that, although the Humax has an output to another device, I'd be best with a quad LNB, with two feeds to the Humax, and a separate feed to the TV? Thanks

Yes, a quad LNB and seperate feeds is the best method-Using the "LNB Out" of the Humax has to many limitations.

Hi - I asked a few Q's to a cable co re: what cables and LNB do I need for 2x freesat+ boxes and they said 2x twin cables, 2 for each box coming from a quad LNB, but you're saying 3x cables per box or am I misunderstanding?

Thx

For 2 Freesat PVRs you would need a quad LNB and two feeds to each box as they have two tuners.

The op requires 3 cables because he has a PVR and a TV with intergrated Freesat tuner, which would also require its own feed.
