I would be really grateful for some advice on my setup.
I have a fixed satellite, with a quad LNB.
I am going to install a motorised satellite with a single LNB.
I already have a Nova HD S2 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hauppauge-WinTV...ag=av0c-21
and am going to be buying two more twin tuners, which are apparently clones of eachother:
either
http://www.technotrend.eu/2993/TT-budget..._Twin.html
or
https://www.amazon.co.uk/DVBSky-profile-...ag=av0c-21
This gives me five tuners in total.
The obvious thing to do would be just connect the five tuners to the five inputs - the only thing I would have to be careful with is not using the Nova to control the rotor, as it is the only tuner that does not support Diseqc 2.1.
Running five thick cables accross my house is something I would like to avoid if there were any alternatives.
I assumed that unicable would only work if all the tuners were on the same card and that card supported unicable.
However, I came across another forum thread which stated that this was not true. It was suggested that any combination of DVB-S tuner could be used for unicable - it was the backend software that dictated whether a single cable distribution would work.
I know that TVH does support unicable. Would it be possible, therefore, to somehow incorporate a unicable feed into my setup?
