Not possible. But you can loop out from one decoder to another.

Are you absolute about that?

Digitman:

please share your idea on how that could be achieved thanks.

Digitman:


Unless I am not getting you right. A maximum of four devices(phones/tablets) can have full access to one .

Funny enough you can still use the of other family who have Dstv but not really into the app thing to multiply the access to as many phones/tablets as possible. Currently I have over 25 phones/tablets connected, using the above method.

There are so many friends and family with active Dstv who do not care ing the for Dstv now. All I do is just ask for them to give me access to connect those who really need it to use it.

I'm a newbie. I didn't know but now that I know, I gotta take effect sir.
Thanks.

And in this case, to watch the same channel as the primary decoder ryt??

Digitman:


If I am in your shoes and I am in the market for the next best thing in decoder.. I will consider

Tiger T3000 Mega 4K .. If money is not a setback. Considering the fact that someday you hear people move from saying multistream channels to 4k channels. It is also an android box So You can easily install Dstv now app on it and still catch up with some of your favourite, from the box to your TV wide screen view. Just a thought.

But coming back to the former list I gave based on financial limitations, then I will pick the Tiger T8 ultra.

@ Digit man,
How much is T8 ultra? And is it HD decoder too

If your decoder signal loop, put a coaxial cable to loop out to the LNB in. Note that you will get signals on same polarity as the primary decoder, if primary is on a channel on H polarity, u won't get a channel on V polarity on secondary decoder, and vice versa

Price wise I can't say but I believe there are people here who market the product. I believe someone will come out to answer that.

On the issue of it is HD decoder. Yes it is HD, 4k is higher than HD in video resolution. And this is a 4k enabled decoder.

Two point to consider when answering such a question like this should be

(1) the two decoders will be using two different power source at someone point.. So the only time both will totally be on is when there is electricity from the power company

(2) so what could be the limitation to this is you apply the configuration of looping from one decoder to another ? Considering the fact that the primary decoder has to be on for the looping to take effect.

Furthermore someone pointed out the issue of some channels only working on one polarity. That becomes another area to consider.

So which other solution comes in mind?

Loop out is not advised for polarity issues, my take is u buy a dual output lnbf for ur setup, add an additional diseq.
configure the two decoders seperatly on the diseq and enjoy ur setups.

A good advice for him to consider.

I tried it and it worked for me. This is what I did: After configuring it, I ed the wires and connected them to the decoders.

MULTISWITCH

But be kind enough to elaborate on your configuration

u are putting ur whole setup to dangerous risk.

Digitman:



MULTISWITCH

Multi switch is good if the client can afford it, i usually recommend for such for big projects.

emmaniche:

That's why I asked him to elaborate, because it sounded out of place. But I still wanted to give him the benefit of doubt to explain more, so I don't jump into conclusions

You never know, someone who can install solar must chop remain. Haha, don't mind me oh

emmaniche:

This Your configuration is brilliant, simple, smart, durable, long lasting, reliable and way less expensive to the Multiswitch configuration.



So to Make it way less cost effective, I will advice him to just choose the satellite position that really shows the important channels he loves watching in the second decoder and change it to DUAL LNB. That's is if he wants to cut cost. But if not, he should just change all the single LNB to DUAL LNB like you rightly Advice.

I hope you guys have added TSTV Channels to your setup. After all FTA Is all about enjoying it while it last.

Thanks to all of u that reply my question i appreciate y'all.
I will go with multiswich.

Yes. But the decoder you are looping out from must be on for the other to have signal

Morning boss, kindly explain how I can track tstv

bakbayus:

Morning boss, kindly explain how I can track tstv

Good morning. It's located at Mytv current position (Belintersat 1 at 51.5°E)

So using Dstv or joy TV or nigcomsat position as your reference point. Just shift your dish a few inches to the left and slide your dish a little downwards. The signal will pop up.

Tracking frequency

11050 H 30000 Mytv
11130 H 30000 TSTV

Happy hunting
