Set up this manual switch it’s feel like well made and good value for money @ £9.81 free delivery by Amazon.
I checked the signal on both receivers on weak tps and glad to report no loss of signal.

It looks similar to the Philex switch I mentioned earlier.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Sometimes the easy solutions are the best. I have a box of the same type here, originally used for cable TV switching.

About £6 each.

It is when the when the receivers are physically close together - but not so good when the "3-way cable junction" is out in the garden and it's dark & wet! :rolleyes::-rofl2

Cheapest and easiest solution is what I use, which is a DiSEqC 1.0 switch in reverse. Up to four Receivers connected to LNB outputs and LNB connected to Receiver output. My Octagon SF8008, ZGemma H9S and Vu+ Duo2 are all able to control the same dish with this method. Works a treat. Only one at a time of course! :)
