Hello i was wondering if it is possible to have a satilite hooked up to a sky decoder and also a watch freeview through a MCE PC with a DVB-S tuner at the same time?? and what kind of splitter would be needed for the satilite singnal?? also if there was any reccomendations for dual DVB-S tuners

Thanks for any help :)

As for splitters, this will do, note it must have a frequency rating to 2GHz or more (2.4GHz indicated for this one). This one is also a diode steer one which means either port can power the LNB, it is also accpetable to have a single DC pass port splitter, however only the STB connected to the DC pass port will power the LNB, which is fine, but that STB needs to be on for the other STB/DVB-Scard to work, ie the LNB must get its power from somewhere.
