Hi all,
I'm a fairly inexperienced DVB-S/S2 user and would like to ask some pre-sales questions before I buy some TBS tuner cards.
I would like to share a satellite TV connection between my TV (which has its own built-in DVB-S/S2 receiver) and my HTPC.
1. Not sure how DiSEqC standards work but I see the TBS6981/TBS6982 specs mention DiSEqC 2.x support. Does this mean it also supports DiSEqC 1.2? What about 1.2/USALS?
2. According to this thread I need to use DC Block Adapters if I'm using a generic splitter. I'm using this splitter, do I still need DC Block Adapters?
3. What happens if the channel is changed on one device (the TV) which requires operation of the motor and before it finishes rotating the dish, another device (the tuner card) also tries to operate the positioner? Would that damage the motor/card/tv or wait until the motor has stopped moving before operating it again?
Here's my wiring/device layout:
Any comments or suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
DVBNB
