Trying to put a second FTA sat box to good use,have instaled cabling to quad uni lnb on 80cm mesh dish the stb's are Tm-5200D and Tm-3000D,the 5200 being the closest to the dish to reduce volt drop,all cabling CT100.Question is I wish to know if the two boxes can be configured to control the motor?..Or can I only have one box to do this? My only way around this issue maybe to install an IR sender for the box supplying the motor..Any thoughts guys?:confused

Only the one receiver.

Options are a twin /quad and use one receiver driving the dish OR IF loop out to second receiver.
