This is why you are running a dual output lnbf for Ku.

I forgot about the moving {Ku} dish issue. I don't know if it will really burn out the diseqc switch or not, but many people have reported such issues, so it probably would be best to put the switch where Steve recommends, however that's going to complicate the C-band reception issue, as the "T" will have to be out at the dish too. If you use a power inserter of some kind, I guess you could still have that back in the bedroom, and have the "T" and the DC-blocked DiseqC for the living room out at the dish on the lnbf side of the motor as Steve said. You should still be able to move the Ku dish from the living room. If I understand, you aren't concerned about moving the Ku from the bedroom. Do I understand correctly that you have 3 coaxes coming into the house? Ie one from the motor to the living room, one from the 2 port lnbf to the bedroom, and one from the C-band to the bedroom? Or is your bedroom diseqC switch out at the dish, and you only have 2 coaxes coming in? If the latter is the case, then you're probably going to have an issue re powering the C-band lnb, unless you run a power inserter line out to the dish or something.... possibly through an un-used wire on your ribbon cable (which it sounds like you aren't using.
