Hello, after reading several articles on different sites, I simply installed a splitter at the output of the satellite dish and then connected the two cables to the two satellite decoders (one to the Orange decoder, the other to the TNTsat decoder). The nice surprise is that both TVs work independently, allowing different programs to be watched simultaneously without having installed a double LNB. The cost of the installation for the second TV was a Strong satellite decoder for €78.00 and a splitter for €6.00.

Be careful, there is a risk of conflicts if you watch channels with different polarities.

@ Bruno: it’s a DIY job since some channels are 13 or 18 V, and also in low band, 0 kHz or in high band, 22 kHz... so contradiction...

No antenna installer or qualified professional seller offers their clients such a satellite installation made of a 2-way splitter which is dedicated only to the distribution of TNT to 2 TV sockets.

Moreover, CCM has never validated this non-standard setup, but rather the head with 2 outputs; just consult the correct index "satellite"!

Additionally, a dual head ( = 2 satellites or multisat) has nothing to do with the distribution of one satellite for 2 TV corners in a house….

thank you for the solution

You cannot connect 2 TVs with a DVB-T tuner to a satellite antenna; they must at least have an integrated DVB-S2 tuner and a common interface for Viaccess CAM. Otherwise, you can add an external Fransat terminal (Fransat, Bis TV, Canalsat SD) or Canal Ready (TNT Sat or Canalsat)

Your case?

Thank you first for the quick response. However, I'm a bit lost: I'm really ignorant about the terminology in this field: DVB-T? DVB-S2? Viaccess CAM?
Let me try to clarify my situation: I have a cathodic TV connected to a TNTSAT Metronic decoder (ref 441631) that works well with the satellite dish; I have a second recent LCD TV, Samsung SYNCMASTER P2270HD, that I would like to connect to this same dish, knowing that the latter has only one LNB.
There you go! Thanks again and see you soon.

If you have a Canal Ready terminal for the TNTsat bouquet, connected to an Astra satellite dish, you need to replace the existing single-output universal LNB with a two-output one by running a second coaxial cable for a second Canal Ready device connected to the second television.

For the meanings of the terms, look them up on Wikipedia or Google.

Thank you, AC/DC. That clearly answers my question. Best regards.

I found the solution to have a second television with different programs without any changes to the single LNB satellite dish for about 150 € (supplies and diagram available).

Hello,
I would be interested in the installation diagram for two TVs on the same satellite dish and watching two different programs, as I already have one TV connected to the dish with a Fransat HD decoder.
Thank you
