Satellite tuners "convert" satillite signals, which are also encoded to standard tv signals that any tuner can handle. However they only do this for a single channel and are not capable of multiple channels at one time. In other words you need a satillite tuner for each independant tv. Didn't have to be this way but it makes more bucks and was cheeper (for them). I have made my own satillite receiver, but the decoder is technically illegal to make, at least to sell. My personal point of view is that if the signal comes into my house, its fair game. But then I don't care to watch TV all that much to begin with.
