Hi! I've missed the original message. But, please, explain me how is it 
possible: I've always thought it's impossible to feed two indipendent 
satellite receivers with only one line, because of the different 
polarizations channels may have. Now I'm using my single DVB-s system 
connected to the 'lnb out' of a Humax 5400, and only certain channels 
are avaiable if I leave the Humax powered on. I was planning to add 
another DVB-s card, ... with a 'double line' lnb and another cable from 
the roof...

thank you
