    What does this loop port let you loop to?
    Can it send whatever channels the box is receiving off to another tv or how does it work?
    Cheers

    Satellite boxes use 4 different tuning bands. Low horizontal, low vertical, high horizontal and high vertical. The box sends a control voltage out to the dish to select which band it wants. If you try to use the loop for another box it will be limited to whatever band the first box is 'watching'. In other words it sounds feasible in theory to use the loop for a second box but in practice it is more hassle than it's worth. This is why you need separate feeds from the dish to each tuner.
