[QUOTE="canofan, post: 491631, member: 259756"] Hi Keano, I am determined to find a solution for using standard LNBs on channelmaster. I am waiting to get a dual flange before deploying the effort, as I would not want to do it again when it arrives. So I have not advanced, yet, on the experiment. I am trying to order a dual flange, but this does not seem readily available. Perhaps a 611-6062-xx feedhorn assembly or 611-6783-xx (easier to find second hand) could do the job. The latter contains the aluminium die cast junction block+filter like the one you have. I would remove the filter because it is not needed in a receive only system. I then would add the feedhorn required for the Nilesat situation 611-6060-10. The vertical polarities will be handled by the straight through flange and the horizontal through the other. Originally the receive is handled through the filter on a horizontal transponder [U]VSWR 1.5/1[/U], while the transmit is handled through the straight through vertical channel [U]VSWR 1.3/1. [/U] When the filter is removed both channels will enjoy a [U]VSWR OF 1.3/1. [/U]Once this is done properly, a disecq switch could be used to add those LNBs and send them to your uncommitted EMP SWITCH. I would not worry about the diseqc technicalities here, but its elements could be used. The Norsat will be fed through the switches by any of the voltages sent up to them, but they do not respond to the switching between 14 and 18 volts but this switching indicates to the committed switch how to choose the proper LNB. In your dreambox, in the LNB configurator, assign only one LNB number for both LNB's 22khz: choose HI voltage; choose V/H LNB mapping: confirm your LNB number LOF/L: keep as is. LOF/H: 10750 for 4000A 11300 for 4000B depends on LNB used. next page toneburst: none Disecq mode on 1.1 Diseqc parameters: NONE Diseqc repeats: 2 Uncommitted port: assign the port you chose on your EMP. sequence repeats ON Swap commands ON Save Save reboot dreambox in order to allow communicating the information to the switches. With this arrangement, if you scan for channels you will get results. [/QUOTE]
