Hi @kermith,

I believe this is what you want:

Quote from your original post:

All I need is to be able to receive 3 satellites. I would like to have the possibility to record a program on one satellite and watch another program on the other satellite. How many LNB’s and tuners do I need? And how many cables do I have to have from the satellite dish to the Ultimo 4k?

To my opinion the cheapest solution with the ultimo 4k is as follows without the need of the fbc technology:

You need the ultimo 4k with one tunercard with two tuners. (can be "traditional"/non fbc s2 tuners) and three normal lnb's with two outputs. (unicable lnb's are more expensive)

two diseqc switches with three inputs from each lnb and one output to each the two tuners on the tunercard on your ultimo 4k. (two cables to your ultimo 4k)

With this setup you should be able to record a tv channel and watch a tv channel at the same time from two different satellites.

This is a traditional setup and it does not use fbc technology but it meets your requirements and it's the cheapest solution. (It will even work with a less expensive hd/4k receiver which does not support fbc tuners)

regards,

Jean Pierre
