[QUOTE="chrisnia, post: 463041, member: 274325"] Hey Robbo, Thanks for the reply. I have 3 sats in one location and 3 sats in another for a total of 6. So I need the multiswitch. After and 8 x 8 multiswitch, they make a 16x16 which is not available here and would cost over $350 to order in. What I need is to understand how to use the Diseqc commands to let a diseqc compatible receiver to use the only 2/4 outputs of the badr3 sat lnb and 2/4 outputs of the nilesat lnb. Thoe hotbird lnb is easy as it is connected normally to the first 4 inputs of the multiswitch. SO in summary the multiswitch has 8 inputs and I have connected them as folllows: Multiswitch Input...................Connected to: LNB1 VERT LOW ....................HOTBIRD LNB VERT LOW LNB1 HORZ LOW ...................HOTBIRD LNB HORZ LOW LNB1 VER HIGH .....................HOTBIRD LNB VERT HIGH LNB1 HORZ HIGH....................HOTBIRD LNB HORZ HIGN LNB2 VERT LOW ....................BADR 3 LNB HORZ LOW LNB2 HORZ LOW ...................BADR3 LNB HORZ HIGH LNB2 VER HIGH .....................NILESAT LNB HORZ LOW LNB2 HORZ HIGH ...................NILESAT LNB HORZ HIGH The setup for the Badr3 and Nilesat is based on the information from Lyngsat that the English programming is on only 2 of the 4 transponders for both Badr3 and Nilesat. SO in theory if I can figure the Diseqc/LNB settings on the Dreambox and technosat settings, everything will work fine. My problem is when I get to the setup page I hacen't a clue on things like: LNB low of low frequency, LNB threshold frequency Toneburst Voltage A/A, B/B, A/B etc Does anyone understand the diseqc settings to tell the receiver that it has 3 satellites and to search only the lnb's specified. (all 4 of hotbird and 2 badr3 and 2 nilesat)? I need the multiswitch becuase I have a total of 6 reaceivers to include 2 Dm500s, 1 AFN (Armed forces Network), 1 technosat, Orbit Decoder box (no cam), and 1 DM7020 I won off ebay (user "Chrisnia") Thanks guys; sorry for the headache, your help is sincerely appreciated.
