    I currently have 2 Humax Foxsat boxes, one of which is starting to play up so I'm in the market for a replacement. I've been looking at VU+ Ultimo 4K specs with the FBC tuner(s). I have a standard '4 port' (quad LNB, not quattro I believe? Isn't quattro for commercial installations, like apartments?) with only 3 feeds used - 2 to a box in the living room and 1 to another box in the bedroom. Rather than have to change my LNB, would I be able to feed this switch from the current LNB and then in turn feed the Ultimo FBC and legacy Humax tuner and obtain the FBC functionality (i.e. multiple vurtual tuners) from the Ultimo?
    No: the switch needs to be fed with a quatro-lnb.
    The link you provided shows it....
    Be aware: the switch you linked to can only handle one quatro-LNB (so for one satellite position only), so in that case a Unicable LNB would be the better (cheaper) option.
