[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 778858, member: 199791"] The more I look at that, the more I think of something a famous starship engineer once said; [I]The more you over-think the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drains.[/I] In my mind, this is what you need connected in the line from the dish: 2 (or more) dishes - DiSEqC Switch - Proper satellite box (even a cheap Lidl affair) - Sky box Easy as that, there's no need for a H/V switch, tone inserter, or anything else, all you need to add is a proper satellite receiver, regardless if it "works" or not (they do work, people just expect them to work like sky boxes, which they don't), and a DiSEqC switch, that's it...
