[QUOTE="David Jashi, post: 964117, member: 407977"] Well, its industrial grade headend for a small (couple of hundreds of end-users) community of my friends in remote mountainous location and it contains 10 small NUC-sized (mostly) computers for receiving, descrambling, transcoding and one 19" 1 RU for recordings. I think I can handle an Arduino or two for switching purposes. And switch-over is done by software, so there is no need for Internet for this purpose. Frankenswitch mentioned by A33 (God bless him for that) is based on standard DISEqC, so I'll simply use a bit expensive ones to have less attenuation (14 dB on a cheapest one). And as a matter of fact, I intentionally use 1.8m dishes and fiber to have signal budget for things like this. Heaters will be installed due to the fact, that when it snows there - it covers dishes and shuts off signal entirely, not just stealing a couple of decibels here and there. [/QUOTE]
