[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1149303, member: 176704"] Just before I went to sleep last night I had a thought! Most modern receivers ("Rx") have DiSEqC /USALS capability, and therefore the setup I described in Post #22 should still be viable for controlling 36V dish motors [U]but with the addition of a V-Box BETWEEN the SPS and the motor [/U]if I am not mistaken. That should mean that whichever Rx is "in charge" of the SPS would send its signals to the V-Box, which would then convert the signals into the commands/voltages required to control the motor as well as the LNB. That in turn would mean that the SPS could be located more-or-less anywhere that is convenient for the cabling, AND mean that there would be no need for the OP to access physically access a switch to change from one receiver to the other. I think the above [I]should[/I] work, is viable and would be much simpler and cheaper than what I outlined in post #27 - if I am wrong, then someone please tell me and also why it won't work! PS: I think that the biggest problem would actually be to find a V-box that is working and reliable - [I]so, does anyone know where they can currently be obtained?[/I] [/QUOTE]
