[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 762239, member: 325666"] The simple answer is yes .. A diseqc switch would work just fine to switch between the lnbs.. The problems you might face are receiver dependent .. Some receivers dont like to operate a motor (diseqc 1.3) through a switch (diseqc 1.0) Some don't like to operate a switch placed after the motor ...ie between the motor and lnb .. If your receiver allows both diseqc switch _and_usals motor control to be operational in the receivers menu stracture ..at the same time ..then you are in with a shot .. If not ...then it gets tricky and complicated. Experimentation is the only way .. You can try Switch > Motor (on port1) > LNB 1 and LNB2 on Switch port 2....this would require pre positioning the motor by selecting port 1 ..then switch to port 2 Or preferably ..assuming the receiver allows it ... Receiver > Motor > Diseqc Switch > LNBs on ports 1 and 2 .. This allows the receiver to send a stacked command (if supported) to move the motor ...then pass a switch contol command to select the relevant LNB on the diseqc 1.0 switch. But it all depends on what your receiver allows ..and the only way to find out ....More experiment .. ;) Good luck VS [/QUOTE]
