[QUOTE="homeboy, post: 414752, member: 251575"] I had forgotten about this thread until I spotted an email notification of a posting just now. I got my DiSEqC problems sorted some time ago (with a lot of difficulty in the process). Currently, looking from the end nearest the STB (as opposed to the Satellite Dishes end): I have a 2-way [I]High Quality[/I] DiSEqC Switch (that has an internal screw allowing some adjustments). [I'm calling it the HQ Switch throughout here, for clarity] ---------------------------------------------------------- Off the [B]1st Port[/B] of the [I][B]HQ Switch[/B][/I], I have a cheaper 2-way DiSEqC Switch (Cascaded) Off one port of this [I]Cheaper[/I] Switch I have a Dish facing ASTRA 28E Off the other port of this [I]Cheaper[/I] Switch I have a Dish facing HISPASAT 30W ---------------------------------------------------------- Off the [B]2nd Port[/B] of the [I][B]HQ Switch[/B][/I], I have a Monobloc (As a Monobloc already contains an in-built DiSEqC Switch, it is in Cascade with the HQ Switch). The Monobloc has 6 degree separation, pulling in HOTBIRD 13E & ASTRA 19E, from a Single Dish. ---------------------------------------------------------- All switching occurs automatically, and correctly 95+% of the time. Required STB DiSEqC Menu setup will vary - depending on STB Model & Version. [/QUOTE]
