Hi,
I'm thinking of starting a dish farm. (heh)... so with a regular DiSeqC switch, you can hook up four dishes at one time...
What if you need more, say 6,7,etc dishes (two extra dishes), what can you do?
Can you daisy-chain two 4-port DiSeqC switches together somehow? Or what's this 22-khz switch thing, what's that for/about?
....

check sadoun.com under technical support multi dish and receiver installation should explain the switches you will need.Originally Posted by be236

Cool. thanks for the info/link.
you are welcome be236.
I've seen drawings on another site where a single 2-port 22 Khz switch connects to two 4-port diseqc switches. The Sadoun drawing shows one 4-port Diseqc that connects to four 2-port 22 Khz switches. Assuming both methods work, is there any advantage to one over the other?check sadoun.com under technical support multi dish and receiver installation should explain the switches you will need.
most 22k switches will not pass diseqc commands so the 22k first theory doesn't work. Been there tried that
I use to have 4 4x4 multiswitches go to 4 4x1 diseqc switches. 4 recievers running 8 LNB's
I have not done this myself (yet), but have read the way to do it is with a "committed" diseqc switch connected to an "uncommitted" diseqc switch.
I searched google.com for... committed uncommitted diseqc
...and found this...
Toroidal NZ - T90 Switching Solutions
The ecoda brand 22k switches pass the diseqc commands fine (or at least well enough for controlling 2 separate diseqc switches). putting the 22k switches after the diseqc works well too (any brand), but you'll need 1 22k switch for every lnbf you add. You might also check some of those nifty switches that allow you to connect a ton of lnb's to them and then reference them as diseqc posititions (satellite positions) instead of ports
