    You run each Quattro to a unicable switch and then the two cables run to one receiver?

    Do you connect both cables to a dual fbc tuner?
    No - the unicable output from each switch is split and runs to either the lounge receiver/fbc tuner) or to another area where there are several receivers fed from a multiple splitter

    But is not possible to join the two unicable lnbs and get just one cable to the receiver?

    Inverto has this scheme in their website https://www.inverto.tv/what-is-unicable-2

    Just scroll down and see the topic: Additional scenarios - SDU receiving 2 satellites

    Yes it is. Answered in post 10. Your post 9 has a diagram of how to wire it up.

    So basically I need the programmer to define, let’s say, lnb1 as position 1 and lnb2 as position 2 and the enable in each lnb for example:

    Lnb 1, scr 1,2,3,4
    Lnb 2, scr 5,6,7,8

    Right?

    No. Programmable LNBs have position numbers. YOu program the LNB with a position. When you set the LNB up on receiver, you use the position number your programmed.

    Receiver 1
    19.2
    SCR 1,2, 3, 4, (all position 1)

    28.2
    SCR 1, 2, 3, 4, (all position 2)

    Receiver 2
    19.2
    SCR 5, 6, 7, 8, (all position 1)

    28.2
    SCR 5, 6, 7, 8, (all position 2)

    Surely there is a business opportunity here.
    Someone who sells Unicable LNBs could sell them programmed to the buyer's specifications for an extra payment.
    Alternatively, how about renting out the programmers.

    Twol's system is like 2 completely separate systems.

    If you use an 8 input switch the output will be a single cable and both satellites will be available on that one cable. Or do as Abu suggests and combine 2 Inverto Unicable II LNBs.

    Couldnt 1 receiver take the inputs from the dishes, and all other receivers be used in client mode? No cables needed, except maybe Ethernet.

    But don‘t forget each client uses a tuner (but fbc tuner would handle that)

    But if the "server" receiver gets damaged no one will have TV

    Hi guys,

    Thanks for all the help.

    So, since i don't have a programmer and Honestely i don't want to buy one, i think i will go with the quattro solution and i think it will become like this:
    I don't mind go like this, because i can easly pass the 8 cables to the inside, the hose i choose is large enough.

    Each BOX will be configured like if this was a DiseqC A/B?

    Thanks
