Unfortunately I only got this answer from Technisat:

"Unsere Disicon -Lösung arbeitet insgesammt mit 3 verschiedenen LOF auf den
Ebenen.Über die Diseqc Funktion werden

einfach zwei weitere Satelliten mit den beiden zusätzlichen LOF angelegt. Es
genügt also eine DVB Karte.

Weitere Fragen bitte über unsere Hotline unter 0190/151576 (0,62€/min)"

Translation to english:

"Our Disicon-solution all in all works with 3 different LOF on the levels.
By the Diseqc-function two satellites with the two additional LOF are simply
added. So one DVB-card suffices.

Further questions at our hotline at 0190/151576 (0,62€/min), please."



As I didn't dive into Diseqc, really, I'm not clear how it really works.
Maybe someone with more knowledge may enlighten me ... ;o)
