Loop through cable

[cga]

Just got an et10000 with 2X DVB-S2 tuner and it comes with the loop through cable and I'm not sure what the cable is for

Can some one explain how can I use this cable?

I have the box tuner 1 connected to a single lnb using a motor

You don't need the cable with satellite only for cable.

I got a loop through cable with my Vu Duo 2, and only DVB-S tuners on back with a loop-out connection, anyone know what I should be using this for?

Like I've said, its purely for cable purposes. Loopthrough on satellite requires no cabling whatsoever.

Sorry Andy, I may be missing the point here, I know that it's not used for sat, what i want to know is when and how would you use it with cable?

I'm a bit confused because although it't not used for sat, i do have a sat loop out?

Sorry if it seems i am being thick, just want to get my head around what i could use my loop connection for

thanks

With cable (Virgin) you only need one feed to the tuner. So you would put feed into Tuner A. And loopthrough from A to B, B to C etc etc. Cable (Virgin) works differently to satellite, whereas satellite need a feed to each tuner.

If on your Satellite receiver you had say 3 tuners, Tuners A, B & C and you only had 2 feeds from the dish, you would setup Tuner A & B to Advanced, 28.2 & LNB1 for example and Tuner C you would configure to loopthrough to Tuner B or A, but a loopthrough cable isn't necessary.

1, some images did not support internal loop through (no wire used) until recently. This is what Andy_H is referring to.

2. Depending on drivers, if a sat tuner has a loop out port, you would use the loop cable. I believe it provides more flexibility than internal loop through.

Whether using internal loop through or a physical loop through cable your still not getting the same as you would If each tuner had its own dedicated feed from the lnb. (Does not apply to the new FBC tuners or what ever the hell there called).

Sorry guys I got a different answer

I have been told that the Loopthrough cable that comes with the receiver can be plugged and use for recording while watching another channel. Is that right?

I know that I can record while watching another channel is both channels are in the same frequency but I don't know if this cable will help recording while watching channels that are not in the same frequency

[Larry-G]

Yes a looped through tuner will allow some limited improvement but it's still not as good as having each tuner connected to the dish with its own feed.
