I have one extra receiver right now so if there is any way please let me know I want to hook it in another room I know I need a Card but I will activate the one that came with the extra receiver just dont want to go on the roof to put a Dual LNB.

We have a dual. Can't help you.

 

[Looney]

I doubt it... isn't that what dual/triple LNBs are for?

I believe you can with a multi-switch.

NO, there is no way to hook two receivers on to a single LNB. Splitters won't work (even if thay have a little picture of a satellite on 'em ...still the wrong kind of magic) , and multiswitches won't work. To use a multiswitch, you MUST have a dual LNB.

So, NO, you can't. Period. End of sentance. NO, Just No...

Good Luck

(BTW: you can fry both receivers by trying a splitter; splitters don't work, splitters are bad, evil things .... splitters want to to fry both of your receivers ... splitters, bad .... dual LNB, goooooood....)
