I currently have 2 dish's 1 fixed on 28E and the other motorised for the rest. Each dish is fitted with a 0.3 db LNB.

If I buy the 9000 with only the DVB-S2 tuner will I still be able to view the SD channels? or do I need to buy the DVB-S tuner as well?

Can I keep the same set-up using the same 2 way switch?

I have other questions depending on the answers from above.

Thanks for the reply pipino. This is great news.
But then why do they sell a DVB-S only tuner?

If you get the PVR Plus this allows you to record one HD channel and watch a SD channel or record two channels and play back a recording.

These are also available in uk

Not to bothered about recording and watching different programs at the same time, so I think I will leave the extra tuner as an upgrade for later.

Will the fixed dish + motorised set-up work?

Not to sure about the 9000 but when I had the 400 I had motor on tuner 1 and fixed on tuner 2 and it worked perfect.

That's a pain - have just ordered this receiver and wanted to use Diablo with Underworld.. Why would a particular software on the cam not work?

Oh well, I'll have a play with it when it arrives and report back..

Cheers for the reply.
