Thread: Best way to slave a PC DVB to two DVB receivers?

Hi all, thanks for the replies. I had both an extra 22 khz switch and a DiSEqC switch to try and found that the PC DVB software I'm using (ProgDVB) only has support for the DiSEqC switch. I hooked the DiSEqC switch up and it looks to be working fine. With this setup I find I can have both DVB receivers on at the same time and not have interference like I would with the splitter I first tried. Glad I asked, DC

The closest that I would suggest for your application is a Multi-Switch that accepts 10 inputs and outputs to 3 receivers. Since that does not appear to exist, check out the Spaun SMK13089F - 12 SAT Inputs / 1 Terrestrial / 8 outputs / IF Loop Through . This would take two outputs from each source and make them available for each receiver. Each receiver would need to support DiSEqC 1.1 protocol. Total overkill in my opinion, but it is what it...

Just for the purposes of brainstorming, let me suggest a hookup. I'm sure with member feedback, we can eventually come up with a working solution. What about a diseqc switch... or, maybe a 22khz switch? You use it to hook your PCI card to the two sources you want to monitor. I'd try DC Blocks (not much more than low value capacitor in a coax feedthrough) between the switch and the DVB receivers. I think that is the optimum...

how about a simple a/b switch ? with remote ARCHER REMOTE-CONTROL VIDEO A-B SWITCH - eBay (item 290361902003 end time Oct-27-09 14:01:25 PDT)
