Operation With Additional Satellite Receiver - Ten-Haaft Oyster Operating Instructions Manual

18 Operation with additional satellite receiver

If you wish to use the same antenna for a second satellite receiver in
addition to your digital CI receiver, loop the signal from the SAT OUT
(see illustration of receiver on page 6) socket of the digital CI receiver
(not present at all models, technical changes reserved) to the antenna
input of the second receiver.
To ensure that such a setup works properly, the antenna must only be
controlled by one of the receivers at any time. To ensure this, the
receiver currently not in use must be switched off. For the digital CI
receiver, it is recommended to switch it into AV mode (AV key). This
will keep the internal amplifier switched on and provide a stronger
signal to the second receiver.
To ensure that the automatic satellite search function of the satellite
system works reliably, the search process must not be affected by
signal interference. During the automatic search or the search via
location, the second receiver must therefore always be switched off
Note: Simultaneous reception with both receivers is not possible
®
The Oyster system can be equipped with a twin LNB. With this option,
a special LNB with two outputs is installed at the Oyster's antenna unit
and two antenna cables are routed. The second antenna cable can then
be used to feed a second receiver or e.g. a notebook computer with a
DVB-S receiver module.
