    Dual tuners

    Well ain't I the chump ?

    I bought my Solo2 because the idea of using the twin tuners really grabbed me. Don't get me wrong, I love this machine but I'd completely forgotten the polarity issue re the output from a single lnb. Basically, I can't really use the twin tuners because of my single lnb.

    If I get a dual output lnb do I need to run another cable to tuner B on the solo2 or can it magically tell the difference between the two outputs ?

    (I'm trying to work out the easiest way of getting thing going)

    Cheers

    you need a dual output or preferably a quad output lnb, like for sly plus

    then run a second cable from the second output to the second tuner input on the box

    so from a sly dish using a sly quad lnb you use a twin cable, known as "shotgun" cable

    so just replace the single lnb for a quad, and replace the single cable with a shotgun cable , or add a second cable
