I'm starting to hate Diseqc switches. PIN diodes do not take any overvoltages well, and static even less. I've popped one port on 2 seperate switches just by forgetting to remove power, and unhooking coax. My impression is there is also lots of leakage. I had the same situation- and could get usable quality numbers even with no coax on the port I selected. The stupid switch leaked so much signal that I was very confused.
I have another that only cleanly switches between ports 2 and 4
I'd love to find a brand or model that isn't so touchy. (without having to spend $100 in Canada)
Even reed relays are better than this technology.
