Loop/RF out for Cable/Terrestrial

[abu baniaz]

As there has been some confusion/misunderstanding on how to connect cables on multiple tuner receivers on Terrestrial/Cable, I am posting this.

I shall start with an example that should be easy to understand, the use of a splitter. Unlike satellite (excluding unicable), on cable and terrestrial, all the channel signal is available. Unlike an LNB, on the aerial/DP there is no switching between high/low/horizontal/vertical. Each tuner can do whatever it needs to.

There is no loop through tuner configuration for DVB-T or DVB-C. You must configure each tuner individually.

And now for what should be straight forward. Hope picture does the talking.

With regards to recording:
Each tuner will only be able to access channels on an individual transponder. If you have two tuners, you will have access to two transponders.

Some transponders have lots of channels, some have one. It is not possible to quantify how many chanenls you can record owing to this fact. Once your tuners are locked onto transponders, the chanels not available will be greyed out.

You can see which chanenls are on that transponder by the following process.
