i just got my 2nd coolsat receiver and i was wondering if i whats the best way to connect it....if i run a cable from the 1st receiver where it says "loop out" and run it to the 2nd receiver will it work if so will it cause any problems such as freezing if both of them are one at the same time....i am using a dp lnb's and a 30" dish with only 1 output from lnb so i cant split the line to run a 2nd cable can someone tell me the best way thanks

From what I understand, the ''loop out'' is an European feature where not as many channels are involved. If it does work you would lose the majority of channels.

Try it and if no positive results, go with a new LNB. Let us know how you made out.

Another option would be an A/B switch used in reverse. One LNB line in, two lines out to your receivers. The only drawback is that they can't be use at the same time.
