One LNB to 2 receivers?

conti

My Dad got the Silvercrest HDMI digital satellite receiver in the Aldi sale last week. He thought becuse there were 2 lnb ports on the back for hooking up a second receiver that 2 signals could be sent to two rooms simultaneously with the one LNB.

Can anyone here clarify this for me? Can a feed come from an LNB into the LNB In and a second feed sent from the IF Out to another receiver showing different channels?

Being an Aldi product, the manual is less than helpful. I don't know too much but I assumed that it was just to save you having a second wire coming in from the dish to another receiver.

Here's a pic of the inputs/outputs

That IF loop through is to have an Analogue & Digital box on same TV and only use one of them, in Germany.

You need a Quad output LNB on the dish and a separate coax from dish's LNB for each receiver.

The "IF out" will only seem to work, and only for a limited number of channels.

Kinda what I figured. Thanks for the reply.
