Hello everybody,
I have a Dreambox 800se with DVB-S/S2 tuner and I'm planning to buy a Sundtek USB DVBS-S2 Tuner.
I want to be able to watch and record different channels at the same time. However, I'm wondering if I have the right configuration in order to achieve that.
I have a monobloc LNB (Astra/Hotbird) with only ONE OUTPUT. I only have one coaxial cable that goes to my Dreambox (pluged to the internal tuner).
Will this work out if I get the USB tuner or do I need 2 cables (one for the internal tuner, one other for the external one ?)
Best regards.

You will need a second LNB or dual LNB and a second LNB cable to the USB Stick.
Alternatively the more advanced option would be to use unicable, unicable LNBs are at around 70 EUR I think (first option should be cheaper and more common)

All right, thanks a lot for this quick response.
However, can I use a regular coaxial cable with a unicable LNB or do I have to buy both a new LNB and Cable ?
Since the cable goes through the walls, I'll rather just change the LNB...

You can use the regular cable for unicable

Last question, but not least !
I've got this small white box (bought for 5€) for coaxial cable. There is 1 input and 2 outputs.
Basically, it's made to split the signal and spread it in two different cables... Would it work or do I need two different signals ?

No, don't use it! It might damage your devices.
You at least need a DC Blocker otherwise you might bind up 13 and 18V input from the receivers and even burn one of them.
Horizontal = 18V
Vertical = 13V
the best what you could get would be that you could either receive horizontal or vertical with both with a simple splitter and dc voltage blocker
Unicable would be the best solution if you want to use one cable.
