The only thing different is that I will have to use another series of 4X1 disqec for the additional 8 lnbfsand another series of 4x1 to get the number wires down to go into the multisitch and what it looks like they arre putting one side on 22 so that you can do verticle and or horizontal on that specific lnbf. As far as the satellite which knowing which lnbf to turn that should be done with frequency of that particulre satllite. Now having said that if I'm wrong hope somebody will tell me where I'm wrong at. It'll save me alot of work. Somebody has bound to have done what I am attempting to do. So if you know, let us know.
While I am not going to say it can not be done I will say I have never heard of any receiver hunting through lnbf's for signal. The command is given from the receiver as to which path to follow through the switches to the lnbf that is suppossed to have the signal.

I am very curious as to how to set this monster up your propose though as I have often wondered how to make use of the 32 lnbf inputs on my BEC receiver.
