Switches for dual out LNB and one receiver

videobruce · #1 (**permalink**) 08-28-2005, 01:31 PM

I have the Invacom Quad LNB and want to use one of each linear and circular into one receiver.
Just what type of switch do I need (other than a 2x1)? Where/what is the difference in quality between switches?

You will need a 2-Way DiSEqC switch. Or you could also use a 22KHz switch.

Are there quality differences between switches?

No, but more flexibility in using both.

Why would you use/need both? #-o

Been working on this myself.

Looks like from sadoun.com quad lnb page there are new pictures.

Shows

LNB --> DISEQC SD21 --> MOTOR --> rest of chain etc...

Multiswitch is what I'm working on grasping now.

Seems you could feed different satellites into the multiswitch, driving multiple receivers which select their own satellite feed without affecting others.

Limitation would only be where there would be a master unit controlling a moving dish, otherwise dualing commands for satellite selection.

I thought fighting over the remote was bad, imagine fighting over the remote control of the satellite pointing commands.
