CONNECTING TO AN ANTENNA
You can connect your double tuner STB to an antenna in two supported configurations.
Double tuner configuration
In this configuration, both tuners have to be connected to antenna signal independently by two separate
coaxial cables. This configuration allows both tuners tuning to two satellite transponders at the same time. With
double tuner configuration, the user can take advantage of all possible feature set of PIP, Double-REC with no
restrictions.
(
Notice
) Be aware that double tuner configuration does not support connecting two satellite dishes separately
to the STB! To receive multiple satellites signal, a DiSEqC switch should be used in between dishes and tuner
where tuners are connected to switch independently.
Tuner loop configuration
In this configuration, antenna signal is passed by only one coaxial cable and the connection between tuners
is created internally. This configuration introduces minor limitations when both tuners are used at the same
time. In this case, functionalities like PIP or Double-REC are restricted to services with the same transponder
polarization (Vertical/Horizontal).
In case of the loop configuration, satellite signal should be connected to the first tuner (ANT 1 IN) (i.e. next to
Common Interface Slot).
