I bought a Toroidal
T90 (arriving Monday) and trying to get
VTV4 and VPTV along with Dish network DBS subscription, FTA channels including international. The total number of LNB is 5. Connection I want to do is 4 Receiver x 8 Dishes (In my case it would be 4 Reciever x 5 Dishes) based on
Sadoun's Multi-LNBF. I notice that on Lyngsat website, it shows that Intelsat Americas 5 (97W) and AMC 4 (101W) have one exact frequence 3860 H tp8. I am not quite sure if my understanding of the setting 4 x 8 connection are correct or not. With 4x8 connection all 8 LNBs are combine into one signal this implies that in each of the reciever, the diseqc port setting should be set to "none" and the 22k should be set to on not off. This also implies that 97w and 101w frequency are combine as well. Let say 97w have a frequency of 3860 and tp 8 which carry 2 channels, 101w have the same frequency of 3860 and tp 8 which carries 8 channel so when I do a blind scan on either 97w or 101w on frequency 3860 I should recieve a total of 10 channels since frequency are combine.
I guess my real question is, is the blind scan only based on frequency regardless of how many satellite (lnb) are combine into a 4x8 connection switch? thanks
