Yes as long as only one box is configured to use a motor, otherwise there will be conflicting data going up the line

Connect the motor to the 18V horizontal side of the multi switch, it will make it perform better

i have friends who live net door to one another both have ku band dishes set up by me both have 1.2m dishes with 3 lnb and diseq switches which work well but now one of them has found a motorised 3m cband dish which they wish to share.how do i set this up? do i need a dual output c band lnb or a multi switch and will their diseq swiches still work and i take it that the motor will still drive thru multiswich. but i might just lock it on as5 or3 for starters

dual output c band lnb with a leg each going into a port of each neigbours 4 way diseqc switch. Put the positioner on the fence between them and they can fight for which sat they want to watch

yeah i think it will just be on one sat for starters or i can see trouble

any idea where i can get a dual output c band lnb? the only ones i can see are in canada and cost more to get them here than they are worth

Hey all

I have a multi switch question as well.

I basically want to do exactly whats in this pic but with the Cband and universal Im only running a single feed is this able to be done at all ? And my 4x4 switch is a infosat 5in x 4out (the 5 port is for terrestrial tv)

Hi,

It would be WAY easier with a proper multiswitch - and possibly cheaper too!!

MrElectricity · 09-02-2010, 12:40 AM

Yes one big multiswitch would do

SirSkyline · 09-02-2010, 06:52 AM
