[QUOTE="Dog's dinner, post: 723804, member: 362627"] Thanks for answering Huevos! Here are the answers (I hope) to your questions I have two downleads (if you mean the cables between the LNBs and the receiver). One goes from the dual LNB (Hotbird/Astra) setup to tuner A The other goes from the single LNB dish (Astra 2) to tuner B (I've toggled these around numerous times, but this is the connection at present) I don't know what the switching arrangement is. I'm trying to get in touch with the technician who installed them, and I'll get back to you on that. He may have stopped work already - it's minus ten here, not much fun if you're mounting satellite dishes outside! I do not have a physical switching box - the leads simply go from the LNBs into the living room. The Topfield, as mentioned, has only one tuner, to which I connected the Hotbird/Astra combo, which was more than enough for my purposes. I checked the LNB setting on the Topfield for all three satellites - don't know whether this helps or not. The settings are identical on all three satellites apart from their position in the DiSEqc 1.0 sequence. LNB frequency: 9750-10600 LNB Power: On 22 kHz: Off 12v: Off DiSEqc 1.0 : Astra 2 is no 1 of 4, Astra is no 2 of 4 and Hotbird no 3 of of 4 Other satellites (like Eutelsat 2F4) are 'disabled' in the DiSEQc 1.0 sequence. By the way, I've tried having just one of the LNB cables connected. That should obviate the need of a switch I would imagine. But that doesn't seem to work very well either. [/QUOTE]
