[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1121548, member: 176704"] I've got several very cheap "BEST" branded 2.0 switches that were "bad" from Day 1 when I WAS very careful about powering down the receiver before changing connections as they consistently didn't select the correct ports when told by that receiver and connected via a "primary" switch - as proven when I sent one of them to EMP-Centauri for testing bcause they told me that the switch didn't respond correctly to DiSEqC 1.0 commands when second in the switch chain! OTOH - I never tried to connect the motor through them. OTOH2, I've never blown a switch since by not disconnecting the receiver power before changing connections (and I've done that a LOT of times!) because I've been very careful to "make sure that the centre "pin" of the cable connector was absolutely straight before fitting it to the LNB or the EMP-Centauri 16-1 switch - maybe that's because that switch is a lot better designed than many others!
