hi all, just ordered a Kabelio card to fit in my Cello Traveller tv. At the moment the sat cable goes from the box to a pulsat box the via hdmi cable to the tv. As the card goes into the tv will the sat cable have to go direct to the tv. If so can I put a t piece in the cable as although the card will hopefully get 1,2,3,4,& 5 but not other Chanel’s that we could still get even when further down France and Germany. (Oyster 85cm dish with autoskew)
 
You can't just "split" a feed from an LNB as different voltages and tones from the receiver tell the LNB which band / polarity to be on. You have a few options..
If the LNB has two outputs you can use them to feed the Pulsat unit and TV individually.
If not you can fit a "fast F connection" that converts the screw connection to a push on version. So when TV needed plug into that tuner and when Pulsat required swop it to that input.
You may still find a "A / B" switch for f connections so two outputs for one sat feed input.
Having said all of that the Sat tuner in the TV may do all you need but maybe without a less good EPG etc so before spending money try just using the TV as an all in one. Not played with a Cello TV in years so can't comment on how good the sat tuner is on them now.
 
Thank you for your reply, I meant split the sat cable where it goes into the pulsar box not at the lnb. I already use a splitter in the sat cable as we have two tv’s as the one in the lounge can’t be seen from the bedroom so have two pulsar boxes but only one tv can be watched at a time.
