devices to be supplied with power through antenna input con- nections simultaneously for a long time, your LNBs may lack power to operate. So it is recommended to link the LNB 1 OUT connector to the LNB 2 IN connector with a loop cable even though the digital receiver is designed to operate over two antennas alternatively.

NOTE

Perhaps you are expecting that the satellite antenna could si- multaneouly catch all frequencies coming from a satellite and send them to the digital receiver. However, the satellite an- tenna only sends the frequencies that it can catch with the LNB frequency and polarisation specified by the digital receiver. So if you have linked from the LNB 1 OUT connector to the LNB 2 IN connector, you would have some limitations in using some features such as dual recording. Likewise, if you have another digital receiver linked from the LNB 2 OUT connector, you can only use it limitedly. See § 4.1 for more details.
