Have been using an XSquare FTA receiver for a while, for KU band reception.
Am now working on an 8 foot c/ku unimesh install in my backyard.
I will take down my 90CM Fortec Ku dish.
This receiver only has 1 coaxial FTA (or OTA I guess) input.
Do I need to make sure I pick up a different receiver that has 2 separate inputs, one for KU and one for C-Band?
Or combine the 2 into a single line via a switch?
And do I need to employ a dish positioner to work in conjunction with this FTA box?
Have heard that I might? I mean I do see the c-band satellite data in this Xsquare box.
I will gladly take any recommendations for a good combo box...HDMI (4K would be great but don't want to spend hundreds) good with scanning and picture quality.
Thanks.
 
You would just combine the two with a DiSEqC switch.
Yes, you will need a positioner. Something like one of the vbox/gbox variants or a Titanium ASC1.
