Ok.
i'm also considering addind a third lnb, i can't imagine the price of
a multiswith with 3*4(loH,hiH,loV,hiV) inputs. (a 8 inputs cost
150euros)
thanks for your answers.
I'm using the sourcecap patch, i haven't looked at the code yet,
maybe the order of the satellite allows to prioritize.
Do you know ?
