Duo 2 additional tuners

[Sammo1]

Do the additional twin tuners require an additional pair of LNBs Needing a total of 4 or do they run off the original pair of LNBs

 

[Abu Baniaz]

If you have unused outputs on teh existing LNB, you can connect to those. If you dont have free ports, you need an lnb with more ports. You can get an octo lnb

 

[Sammo1]

So it will require additional LNB inputs then
Ok Thanks

I have 2 fixed dishes, each with an LNB that has 4 outputs

You just need more cable from those lnb to the additional tuners then.

Lets just say they are currently being used by 2 in +box 4 off in 2 HD boxes and a TV

Why not post in the relevant section.

In simple terms you need a feed per tuner port if you have only 1 feed left on the LNBs then your stuck or use the other dish too if it has and spare.

Why do you want 4 tuners pointed at 28e though 2-3 not enough ?

I thought this was the relevent section as We started with what the tuners would need? in the Vue 2 duo box Would I need to connect extra LNB inputs if I installed an additional twin tuner

I have 2 dishes pointing at 28.2 degrees
Each Dish has 1 LNB
Each LNB has 4 connections IE for 4 cables
As explained I am using 7 of the 8

So you had the answer earlier from Abu.

Buy a 8 port lnb and swap them out.
