I have a viewsat extreme if that makes a difference and I know that currently the dish 500 is useless just want to get it all wired now just in case it ever does start working.
Also my longitude is 123.1 I read that I can use the closest sat to find true south(Galaxy 10R 123). Will that be accurate enough for tracking the rest of the sats? I will have the motor at zero and then just turn the whole assembly to tune in Galaxy.
Searched and searched but couldn't find the answer regarding hookup.Sadoun's diagram just shows regular dishes not motors.
If someone could please answer these 2 questions it would be greatly appreciated, thanks. |
In short yes you can wire it in with no problems with the motor. You would need to place the switch between the motor and the lnbf of the large dish bringing in the signal from the second dish to that point BUT some / most of the smaller dishes use tones equal or very close to DiSeqC tones so when the receiver issued the command to the DiSeqC it would also be issuing the command to the small dish. That is unless you only wanted to use one lnbf from the small dish.
A much simpler solution to what you propose is to buy the
Invacom qph-031 lnbf for the larger dish and throw the small dish away. After all the dish is motorized. There is very little to get from any of the DN sats with a FTA receiver. When balanced against the cost of the lnbf at this time not worth buying. Then factor in the poor picture quality of the DN system.
If you have never had sat TV before you will find there are greatly varying degrees in picture quality and DN is the bottom of the barrel.
