Ok...

OK Bill...

I just disassembled all the wiring, start over from scratch... For the moment, let's forget the Analog and moving the C band dish. Let's just see if I can get the LNB's to send me a signal from both dish and getting the small dish to move (the C band dish is more complicated because of the vBox etc)....

I am going to try the 80 CM dish Alone...

From the receiver I am going to go into the switch (Output), out of the switch (using the #3 connector) and then into the motor..... The dish ought to work as normal before I even had a C band other than I need to set the Sats in the Receiver on DiSEqC to 3....

Im thinking That should work ...

Next, if the little dish moves and works as normal, then move on to the big dish.... Come out of the C band connector on the LNB and run it into the switch (connector #1), Come out of the Ku connector on the LNB and hook it to the switch (Connector #2)...

At this point I should have my normal Ku stuff on the little dish, and the C band and Ku for whatever sat the big dish is pointing to..

Does this all sound about right??? If it works, then I'll go back and hook up the vBox and add that to the equation ..
