[QUOTE="Offtensive, post: 1121532, member: 416667"] I was setting up my octagon sf8008 and had my DISEqC switch in the following order. (My switch is currently before the motor as I haven’t got around to laying nee cables) Port 1 - Motor Port 2 - 28.2e Port 3 - 19.2e Port 4 - 42e I thought I had damaged the motor or the lnb at first as I was getting no signal on any of the motorised sats. Connected my old back to try and move the motor but nothing so I did a rescan whilst my box and motor were “at 30W”. To my surprise it scanned 19.2e on Port 1 of my switch. When I switched back to Port 3, I scanned 19.2e again. I know that my motorised dish is definitely on Port 1 now as my signal quality is too low for that dish on 19.2e. Is this usual behaviour that Port 1 is mirroring Port 3? Also, is it possibly a wrong setting I had in my octagon that caused this issue? It’s only a cheap technomate switch. I’ve got an emp centauri one that I can replace it with, but I thought I would try and find the root cause first so I don’t damage that switch too. [/QUOTE]
