:???: :-[ OK, I have no technical knowledge, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question! :sweat:
The way it has been explained to me is that a dual LNB sends different signals down the two cables to the two decoders connected, but is this really true? The dish simply accepts everything thrown at it, right? It then aims it at the LNB (single, dual, quad or whatever), which sends it down the cable to the decoder(s). Are the signals identified by the LNB or are they identified by the various decoders as useable or not, filtering out everything not useable?
So, if everything gets sent down the cable anyway, why can't the single LNB send it down one cable to just before the two decoders I have, where I then use a two-way splitter simply to connect one cable to two decoders connected to the same TV and obviously never used simultaneously, which then each on its own identifies which signal it should accept as compatible and which it should filter out? I'm dying to try it...! :nfi:
