Sergei,
yes, this is kind of  the setup I use. I have 2 Quattro LNBs + 
terrestrisch = 9 inputs, and 4 outputs.
Two of the four outputs go to two FF cards in a single VDR. As test I 
also have a Budget card in
a second PC. I never saw any interaction between them.
Works perfectly.

Isnt the normal method to cascade Diseq switches infront of an LNB, so 
that in the end only
a single Diseq connects to the LNB? I must say I looked into this just 
enough to buy what I needed,
I am no expert.
