[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 518101, member: 256551"] Hi, I have a similarish setup with a fixed dish for 26E plus a motorised dish. I found it was necessary to connect the Diseqc switch AFTER the motor though:- I.E Receiver-->Motor--> DiSEqC switch-->> LNBs See picture below:- Nothing did anything when I connected the Diseqc1.0 switch first in the chain. Yes there will be a handful of dB extra loss, but as long as the cable isnt too long it will be OK. I have connected mine up without the motor and switch on a weak satellite and there was no difference in signal QUALITY at all, compared with them in. 10m cable= attenuation of 3 dB approx, so an extra component is aprox eqaul to an extra 10m of cable.
