[QUOTE="a33, post: 1143005, member: 332642"] So, to check if I understand you correctly: 1. Receiver 1+2 (with 3 tuners) need to switch to the little backup switch, preferably automatically 2. Receiver 3 and 4 stay always connected to the motorized dish. Receiver 3 does not ever need to be connected to the small backup dish. 3. Does it matter if receiver 3 has Unicable, or legacy reception? My idea would roughly be the following: a. Receivers 1+2 would go to a splitter, the path from there to a 0/12V switch, choosing between motor dish path and little backup dish path. b. Receiver 3 should work on second legacy output of LNB, or be "inserted" in the above Unicable motor-dish-path. c. Receiver 4 should not only issue motor commands, but also give a diseqc 1.0 command for all satellites other than the fixed dish satellite position. d. A diseqc switch should be put parallel to the Receiver 4 input; the relevant diseqc port should issue a switching voltage for the 0/12V switch, to switch to (or from) the small backup dish. (To consider at a later moment: extra coil or small modification of the diseqc switch, extra resistor to lower the voltage to 5..12 Volt, maybe adding some terminating resistors.) Things to check, beforehand: - Do the receivers 1+2, when connection to the motor dish is broken, issue a no-lock 'repeat' Unicable command, to again get the wanted channel? (I know that legacy receivers do that, but not if Unicable receivers do that also, and how many seconds they wait till they give a no-lock repeat command.) - This setup would require Receiver 4 to stay switched on, as long as the motor is not returned to the fixed position (to keep supplying the diseqc switching voltage for the 0/12V switch). Would that be a problem? - By the way: there are (older) receivers with an 0/12V output possibility. Does your receiver 4 have that, by chance? So this is to give you an idea, what I am thinking of at the moment. We can fix the details later, and do the above-mentioned repeat command test. First: did I understand you correctly, with my summing up questions? Second: would you be content with a setup like my idea? Greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
