Yes, if you use fall back tuner feature in image or remote stream channel stream converter plugin.

You can also use Kodi to view what is on main receiver.

Don't know about fallback but RCS you download channel list from main box and view in normal manner by selecting the channels in the remote list.

Normal caveats apply if tuner is in use gor recording etc you can't use it.

Fallabck tuner just copy over Bouquets from main box and enable fallback tuner with IP address of main box. http://mainboxIP:8001
RSCS - install plugin, then download ticked Bouquet entries from main box .. Bouquet entries contain IP address of main (server) box as you can use more than 1 box as a server.

Either work, but fallback tuner is more transparent, in so far as Bouquet entries same as main box.... so for families I think it is better:)

It is in the "customise settings" menu. Name is "fallback receiver"

Ok RSC is working fine on zero.thanks for help with that.
New query:with me already having a sat feed from downstairs which i used for magic eye.i popped in zero and i get good signal.so is it possible to use that feed to use motor thru sat cable rather than the streaming method?
Duo:2 static feeds
Solo 2 1 motor +1 static
That leaves one from motor and one from static
Hope that makes sense id rather use cable than the stream
Cheers

The motor cannot be controlled by two receivers. You can use a barrel to join the cable, the motor will then go direct to the receiver upstairs.

Allows you to join two cables together.

I understood:
you have a motorised wire coming downstairs.
You have one wire from where the equipment is.
This wire goes to the receiver upstairs.
You want to use the motor on the receiver upstairs.

Is this incorrect understanding?

Do you want to use one motorised dish with two receivers?

Do you want to do this at the same time?


RSCS and fallback have nothing to do with internet. It is all local network.
goosegog
22-01-17, 22:06
Yeah thats right first question.2nd one yes if its possible not at same time tho
Thanks

To use one Motorised setup between two receivers

Install a high isolation switch.

Wire from Motor connected to I/O
Wire from A connected to downstairs
Wire from B connected to upstairs

Press switch of which connection you want to make.
Change tuner configuration of downstairs receiver
Change tuner configuration of receiver upstairs
Lots of messing around.
