    Hi,
    depends. Normally you do not need a switch because all tuner get their own SCR. Which LNB do you have and how many tuner do you want to feed?

    I have a Quattro-LNB and an Unicable switch.

    I think he means that the second box has only a single tuner and he wants to connect both LNB's to it.

    So, only one thing comes to mind.
    It is not possible to connect a unicable LNB to a switch.
    Such a switch does not exist.

    You need programmable LNBs (and a programmer to program them) and then combine them onto the one cable.

    Once combined you will be able to feed all three tuners from the single cable.

    Do you have programmable LNBs? If so you will need to get a programmer from the manufacturer of the LNBs. Not cheap, as it is a professional tool.
