One LNB two Tuners

[markshore123]

Hi can I connect one LNB coax to two tuners with a patch cable? Tuner B has feed IN/OUT Tuner A has feed IN. What would be the advantage of two LNB feeds if one can just be looped in?
Thanks

yes you can use loopthrough or loopout as it is also called but you wont get any where near the benefit from such a setup as you would if both tuners were getting their own feed from the LNB.

If you want to be able to watch one channel while recording another or recording multiple other channels at the same time, you would be best having a feed going to each tuner, if you loopthrough you will be limited to watching and recording channels on the same quadrant, and this is very limited in most circumstances.
