DISC Switch

[mhoward]

Hi, so I have only seen DISC switches that have up to four inputs for dishes......any idea if there is a larger switch out there? If there was one, is the fortec star equipped to handle it?

I haven't seen a DiSEqC switch with more than 4 inputs. Also, the receivers can control up to 4 ports only.

Although I have never tried this I came across a diagram that allows more than 4 LNBs.

This diagram won't work. Instead of the 22KHz switch, you will need to use a 0/12V switch.

Or, you could do it as follows:

Receiver
|
|
4-Way disqc
|
|
22KH----LNBF1
|
|
LNBF2

...or you could just get a motor. I mean 8 LNBs -- Good Grief... :mozilla_undecided:
