Thanks for the quick response!

Oh, now I see the problem. I just tried recording an encrypted channel
on the same TP as FTA and could switch to the free ones while the
recording was taking place.

If I uderstand correctly it now, with more cards I should be able to dot
it, right?
Although I've checked again and I still have the problem of channels H
and V polarized. I sure need a TWIN or QUATRO LNB, but they are more
expensive than a complete new dish with universal LNB.

What would be the most expansible/cheapest way to achieve what I want? A
LNB which separates in AV/AH/BV/BH and a DiSEqC on each card?
How do I know if the channels are low or high? I believe all my channels
are high, so that I'd only need the AV/AH outputs and with simple
DiSEqCs I would have enough, or with a full DiSEqC I could connect
another dish pointing to Astra or Hotbird.

Is there any obvious misconcept in my reasoning?
