That's a little bit relevant for what we're going to talk about next. Although, there is an exception to this, which is that you can access other channels on the multiplex at the same time, on the same LNB. Which explains why the Elgato has four inputs, because to support four devices it needs to be able to change channels for each device, and that needs four LNBs. This also means that an LNB cannot be split and fed to more than one tuner. A satellite dish isn't a dumb receiver like a Freeview aerial is, it's a device that needs power to operate. In this system, a voltage is sent to the LNB which changes the channel and polarisation using electronics.

So any Sky+ system needs at least two LNBs. This is needed, because Sky+HD or Freesat+HD need to be able to record one channel while you watch another. On a modern Sky dish, you'll find either two or four LNBs on each dish, although six and eight are possibilities too. This is a bit of technology that's hidden in the thing that protrudes on an arm from your satellite dish. With satellite, each tuner must be connected to an LNB. The antenna itself can send all the broadcasts down one cable and you can connect a virtually unlimited number of tuners to it, as long as the signal isn't degraded. With Freeview, a tuner is all you need to receive from an antenna. This is one major downside to satellite and a problem that doesn't affect aerial-based systems in the same way. You might wonder why it takes as many as four inputs. Usually we wouldn't be interested in explaining the technology behind a product we're reviewing in detail, but for the Netstream 4Sat it's sort of essential, because all of the questions you have about satellite are likely to be relevant to how this system works. The difference between satellite and terrestrial explained

You can also record within the app, although this is probably not the best way of recording TV because it means your phone will need to be on with the screen illuminated for it to work.

You can move between channels by swiping left or right and the whole process is really smooth and pleasant. The interface is lovely and the apps are brilliantly designed.

The apps for both Android and iOS are what we'd expect from Elgato.
