Is this possible? combiner/splitter for FreeSat-PVR so no more cable running?

Just a crazy thought, thinking of getting a FreeSat-PVR box and don't fancy running any more cables as I should be moving in a few months

The Humax Freesat box supports Unicable LNBFs which allow you to run 4 receivers from one coax simultaneously. Presumably the Humax PVR will also have this, so in conjunction with a Unicable LNBF, the PVR should be fully functional using one coax and a loop-though to tuner 2.

What you've outlined above won't work - you would need a stacker/destacker setup.

Can anyone confirm that the Humax Foxsat HD PVR supports Unicable LNBs?

Thanks

Unicable LNBs are still on the pricey side I think. Approx €80

Hi Zaphod, this vendor http://www.intellectsystems.co.uk/epages/intellectsystems_co_uk.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/intellectsystems.co.uk/Products/LNB_000006
has an Inverto Unicable LNB at UKP48 - that's about Euro50 the way things are going with Sterling! If it works as claimed, it would be great - as it should be able to feed up to 4 sat. tuners using a single cable feed giving full access to all transponders and polarisations to each tuner.
