Does anyone know if a typical DiSEqC will pass tone, and if so, will it get confused by tone and switch when it's not supposed to? I know DiSEqC switches will switch on a tone-burst, but I'm not aware of them switching on a solid tone.

Thanks, Mark.
Yes, a DiSEqC switch will pass 22KHz tone just fine.
