[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 1151417, member: 243342"] As I am sure many people on here do, I have a bunch of satellite receivers connected to the same dish. I say "connected" - I connect them manually whenever I switch receivers around to the LNB, rather than using a switch. The reason for that is that I tried a bunch of switches in the past - smart priority switches, simple combiners, receiver loop throughs etc but all introduce noise, which results in lower signal levels (quality/SNR). I don't mind losing signal strength as receivers should compensate for that but not quality. Does anyone use tried and tested switches with as little loss as possible? I have 4 receivers that I tend to switch between... Alternatively, I am contemplating creating my own switch - just not sure the best way to do this. Whether to use signal switching ICs or relays - or just stick with manual swapping of cables. [/QUOTE]
