Please move if this is in the wrong section.
My current setup is an Explora in the TV room and an HD2PVR at the other end of the house.
I have them on separate dishes both with dual LNB's, purely that it was easier to wire up because of distance.
The heartbeat cable is running through my old AV cable installation which is daisy chained through every room in the house.
I have now acquired a PACE TDS850IMC HD decoder ( 2 record, One view ) which I am going to put in the middle of the house.
Question 1. This has 4 dish inputs, so which is the best way to connect it up ?. It can share a dish with the HD2PVR. I would
prefer not to have to run 4 cables through the wall for the PACE and I am happy to add a third dish if it is cheaper than buying all the bits to share a dish.
Question 2. Do I loop through or just tap off the heartbeat cable for the middle decoder ?
I know there is plenty of info on the net, but I cannot find the important info like heartbeat setup and if this decoder is compatible with the others.
Thanks.
