I tend to agree Bill... Of course my 1st experience trying to use the 6' for C band and the 80cm for Ku was not good as I managed to damage (well KILL) 2 switches... So running both motors is out of the question for me (have to think too much .

What I will do is try to realign the 6' on Ku and get it as perfect as I can. (That should make C band and Ku perfect).... Being the glutten that I am, I ordered a couple of new DISEqC switches this morning from Sadoun and will use an external to replace the blown switch on the BSC621, and will use the 6' for C and Ku....

Then I may just leave the 80 fixed on 1 sat (Like Galaxy 25) and hook the LNB into position 3 of the switch... No more trying to run the motor (gun shy now)...
