The LNBF switches via Diseqc. Set the Ultra for #1 for Cband, #2 for Ku.
As far as the remote goes, there is a small UHF antenna on this receiver. If it isn't dual control (ie: UHF and IR) I dont think the RS remote or my programmable remote will do UHF.
THe receiver does have 2 input F connectors. I was interested only in analog C band reception. I was hoping that by setting the Ultra to C band, having it set the position via USALS, and set the LNBF via Diseqc, the data on the IF loop port could be seen by this Legend receiver - the "slave" option mentioned in these posts. |
Re the DC block, you should always use one when slaving, because you have two receivers both trying to put out LNB voltage, and there is a chance that they could interact with each other. RS sells the DC blocks, just little 1" long things with male F on one end female F on the other. They don't attenuate the signal to any noticeable degree.
Re UHFvs IR, I'll see if I can find one of my old remotes. I don't know if they did IR or not. I know they were UHF, but I thought they did IR too, but I'm not sure.
