any suggestions guys?
I have 2 dishes, 1dish has 1 LNB(Phauxtel), the other dish has 2 LNBs (UBI and Mysat) All LNBs are connected to a 4way DiSeqc to one cable, I have a dreambox with UBI(freechannels) and Phauxtel on it, and a strong with Mysat on it. the question is can I connect both decoders to the 1 cable via a splitter or do I have to run a separate cable for the strong?
or is there any other way to have them both connected without a second cable?
or can I put my Mysat card in the dreambox and have all 3 LNBs running from 1 machine?
Cheers

I can't see any reason why the mysat card in the dreambox wouldn't work.
If you wanted to have all signals available to two receivers, a multiswitch would be the go but you would need dual LNB's.
You could also use two diseqc switches on each output of dual LNB's, cabled to the two decoders, but I'd prefer to use a multiswitch.
How do you currently have the two decoders connected? (as you suggest you only have one cable). Swapping the cable over to the second box, or looping through one to the other?
Unless you can use everything connected to a single decoder, you will have to run additional cabling. (and upgrading LNB's and adding a multiswitch).
That's what I am doing at the moment. swapping cable.
I think I have to run another separate cable for Mysat on the strong, it's just that I don't want to drill another hole in the cornice after patching the one I already had for the current cable and the antenna and there is no space to run a third cable in the duct, unless I use diplexers for the coax cable and use it for the HDSTB and the SRT. that should work shouldn't?
Yep that's what I have. It looks like that's my only choice at the moment.
