I can't keep up with all the various types of Dishnet systems, but if your dish 500 is one of those where you can get access to the individual lnbfs, I would just run a cable straight from the lnbf with the music channel you want, and bypass any dishnet switches that might be confused by the diseqc signals. If I wanted music for an office, I'd just run this straight into a Twinhan 1020a in the computer, and you can have all sorts of music playing in the background while working.

Yeah, the problem with the dishpro lnbf is that the switches are built-in and cannot be bypassed. The problem with running a 2nd line to the office is that it would require routing cabling under the siding around half the house (2 story - 20 ft off the ground) and drilling another hole through siding/brick/etc .. ick Maybe I can find an old non-pro lnb to swap onto the dish500 in order to ease this situation :/
