[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 6241, member: 174998"] Until recently, I had exactly that set up - a digibox and an Echostar (first D2500ip, later ad3000ip) fed from one steerable dish/LNB. In the case of a d2500ip, there is not even any need for a smart priority switch. The digital out coax connector is fed to the "dish-in" of the digibox. Then when the dish points to 28.2e, switching off the Echostar box automatically passed control of the LNB through to the digibox (or switching the digibox on automatically grabbed control). In the case of the ad3000ip, the digital-out connector is used to loop directly to the analogue-in of the same receiver, so the above arrangement is no longer feasible. So then you have to fall back on the priority switch. That's basically a little electronic device which has connections to the co-ax and to pin-8 of the TV scart from the receiver which acts as master. Bit difficult to explain but they come with instructions. Once set up, the switching takes place automatically. It should ideally be locagted near the two receivers unless you have very long scart cables! 2old [/QUOTE]
