Question dvb-t tuner built into tv

hi folks

i am in germany with satellite. i will have (soon) 1 LNB for german tv and a separate LNB pointing to uk tv. the question is, can i combine both co-ax cables to a single cable to input in the back on my tv (dvb-t input) ? If so will it show both german and uk tv?
if not i suppose i can have uk going to tv and german going to set top box, but would prefer less cables, boxes etc
thanks

Re: dvb-t tuner built into tv

DVB-T (Terrestrial) isn't satellite instead you want DVB-S. The DVB-T TV has no way of powering an LNB..

If though you do have though a DVB-S reciever then you want a DISECQ switch that will enable a sat reciever to switch between the two LNB's
