loop output m3

[drageek]

basically i posted another thread about recording however they stated something about a loop output that goes in to another receiver can someone please explain what this function does and how would i go about using it thanks

Re: loop output m3

The Loopout on a receiver is there so you can feed what you are receiving in that particular one and loop it out to another one, It has nothing to do with recording

Re: loop output m3

A loop output (or sometimes loopthrough) means that the sat-signal goes in the box and you can use the output to connect another box with the same sat signal. But be carefull: If you are watching horizontal channels with the first box you can only watch horizontal channels with the second (the same for vertical, high and low-band).

Re: loop output m3

You can feed the satellite signal through to another STB eg upstairs so
that if you leave the one downstairs on standby you would be able to
control the LNB from the upstairs STB. Like multiroom but only control
LNB from one STB at the time otherwise see Satphoenix's post.

You don't need to install a seperate dish for you 2nd receiver. You could just simply feed the sat signal from your main receiver to your 2nd receiver through a loop.

Re: loop output m3

hi guys

all correct, but I have both my boxes right next to each other and always have 1 standby - to watch 2 boxes at the same time (without any problems) the loopthrough function really isn't the best solution.

Re: loop output m3

The loop output is that how satphoenix explained you.
But if you want to watch diffrent channels (other singnals) on two receivers and one dish you need two lnb's.
You can buy a lnb holder for 3 euro and an extra lnb set them and then you can watch diffrent channels with diffrent signals and 1 dish.
Hope I could help!

Re: loop output m3

In fact Loop output of the receiver and is the divisor. Only is there a need to take into account the moments, that does not met the supply voltage of the Converter from two receivers, i.e. it must be implemented in isolation.

Re: loop output m3

so all this time I've been putting in two coax inputs and there was no need. also can anyone tell me any receivers with two tuners thanks

hi drageek

best to ****** for sat twin tuner - btw: why twin tuner? if you have 2nd box, you don't need a twin (or am I wrong?)

Re: loop output m3

Sorry, I don't know that many but I have heard good things about vu+solo2.
You can look in the vu section or ask.
As I heard and read the twin/dual tuner receivers are a bit more expensive than the single ones. (obviously )
To have it cheaper buy two single receivers (sometimes cheaper than 1 dual)
And as pan110 mentioned why twin tuner?
Hope I could help!

Re: loop output m3

If you want to use either a twin-receiver or two receivers to receive different channels from different sats or different polarisations from the same sat (hor/vert, high/low) you need necessary a twin-lnb or two different sat connections. Even a twin-receiver can only get the signal from one frequence-band (hor/vert, high/low from one sat) if you use the loopthrough output. This is unfortunatly one of the problems of sat-receiving.
