I am in the process of moving to Freesat from Sky.

I have an old Goodmans Freesat HD 200 and I can either get another for £40 from Harvard which is IPlayer enabled and C4HD etc or maybe a PVR version - they will revert with price tomorrow.

Just one issue though - if I get a new box I was going to use the old one in another room using the LNB out port. Is it correct that the "slave" unit will be restricted to whichever range of channels are in the channel set (Vertical or Horizontal) based on whatever the "master" is switched to at the time you use the slave.

Is this problem applicable to all Freesat PVRs or just Goodmans technology?

It's nothing to do with Harvard.

Any universal lnb is switched into high/low frequency mode by a 22KHz tone and into vertical or horizontal polarisation by the controlling tuner outputting either 13 or 18V DC.

While the first box is on lnb loop through will be restricted to any channels sharing the same .....

High/Low frequency band

Vertical/Horizontal polarisation.

With the first box off if the second boxes control signal are passed to the lnb all channels should be available.

To be honest I was not aware that any freesat kit made by Harvard had an lnb out socket

Thanks for such a good short reply
