    if you change chanel on other polarization then you lost signal on your other dreambox
    Yes you can watch just the channels on same polarization and band (high or low).

      your receiver or lnb can be damage
      but i think that little device linking the 2 lnbs / 2 receivers manage the electrical signal so you can watch high/low (vertical/hozirontal)

        No nothing will be damaged but if one receiver will setted on Horizontal and the other on Vertical, you'll receive just Horizontal because one of two receivers will send 18 V and the other just 13 V so the LNB will consider the maximum voltage input and it will switch on Horizontal pol.

        No it is impossible, the polarity and the band a LNB can handle is just one a time, so you'll never can watch two channels, at same time on a two different bands or polarity, with one LNB. If it was possible they didn't builded LNB twins or Unicable LNB, they're just made for this purpose.

              With 20m of that cable with 1m dish you will get 0% signal from Hotbird

                          Re: Using one cable for two dishes and receivers

                          Anyone know what is the real loss for this type of cable for 20 m lenght (sellers tells my there is no loss)
                          I want to buy a twin cable not four but my signal is at the lower level on some sat_s and i do not want to risk loosing reception

                          regards
