The most success is people using IP Network - Sat. tuners & TvHeadend software (which can run on CoreELEC) .....

... or the older AML S912 DVBS2 Mecool K1 devices as detailed in this thread:

Munchas Thank you for your reply. I have bought the X96Air Amlogic S905X3 4GB / 64Rom. I also have the Mecool K3 PRO and Magicsee C400 Plus, would the Satellite IP network of these boxes be a good option for the X96Air ?. I mean to use the Mecool or Magicsee as transmitters from Tvheadend to the X96, is another satellite IP signal transmitter a good option or better? Thank you

I'm not sure what you are asking now....

Do you already have a working CoreELEC "Hybrid" box with a Satellite Tuner included, already running TvHeadend server ?
If so why do you need - yet another Sat Tuner box ?

Another one seems un-neccesary if you already have "Hybrid" devices with Sat. Tuners already included, like your Mecool K3 PRO and Magicsee C400 Plus. Are the Sat. Tuners in them not working with CoreELEC and a TvHeadend server ?

The Sat. IP devices are standalone units that you home network link into any Linux OS based box that is running the TvHeadend server software, then you can feed TvH streams all over the house to other Kodi boxes running the TvHeadend PVR Addon client. Or even watch TV on the same device.

Huh

Thanks for your reply. If I have the Magicsee C400 Plus running by CoreELEC with Tvheadend and its satellite tuner with motorized parabolic. I also have the Mecool K3 Pro by AlexELEC with a different motorized dish. The two boxes work very well but I am looking for an Amlogic S905X3 box with better performance in reproduction and sound, that is why I bought the one that you recommended. I would like my new X96Air box to also have Tvheadend, so I ask the best way to have Satellite TV on the X96 Air. For a better reproduction of the Satellite channels in the X96 Air, is it better to use the additional usb tuner or to use the IP tvheadend transmission of the Mecool and Magicsee?
