[QUOTE="a33, post: 1143053, member: 332642"] S/PDIF is digital audio output... something completely different... So, if indeed Receiver 4 is only switched on when you (want to) watch motorized satellite, you can connect the 5 volt of the USB port to go to the 0/12V switch. I think it'll work all right. (When 4 tuners try to give the no-lock repeat command at the same time, the response time might work out to be a little bit longer? But it'll still be within one or two seconds, I reckon.) You'd have to fabricate that connection yourself, I guess. - Find an old USB cable, cut it through, and find the +5V and earth connections (I reckon a red cable and a black cable?). Do you have a multimeter, to check voltage/polarity? - Then use some speaker cable, or doorbell cable or so (not critical), to go to the 0/12V switch. (Or the USB cable might be long enough, allready?) - Sometimes the 0/12V has screw-on connections, that is easy. Sometimes you need some kind of plug. Take care that the 0 goes to ground, and the +5V to the other connection. (if some kind of plug, the [I][B]core[/B][/I] should be +5..12V.) All clear? Greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
