A problem occurs when you have a
comfortable chair, a satellite TV
tuner with only one SCART connector,
and two decoders, also with only one
SCART (loop-through) connection. Such
a situation exists, for instance, in a
setup consisting of a Pace 800rd Sat-TV
receiver, a Luxcrypt RTL4/5 decoder,
and a D2MAC decoder (for TV Plus). Although
small SCART boxes are available commercially to
connect three SCART apparatures,
manual switching is then required,
in this case, between the Luxcrypt
and the D2MAC decoder. Obviously, anything
to do with manual switching is a
drag in this day and age of channel hopping
and remote controls, whence the present
unit, which selects the actuated
decoder automatically, without the need
to get out of your chair and flick a switch.
