The terminology you are looking for is 4 muxes per card, not channel.
One mux can hold several channels. One satellite I looked at had ca 24
fta muxes with ca 3-4 channels per mux. So to cover this whole satellite
you would need 6 quad cards. If a quad card costs $200 that gives you
$50 / mux cost. The cheapest single mux s2 card I could find cost ca
$60. So $50/mux is probably what you have to pay for this component if
you buy from a reseller.
